El Bulli was created by 2,000 people that passed through it. And we didn't know that something big was happening. It was like a game in a way. You didn't really know how it was going to end up, and people who would leave, they would take a piece of it with them, but they would leave another piece behind.

People think chemistry and physics are science, but the scientific method is something else.... It's the science that the world of cooking generates: science of butter science of the croissant.

At one point cinema and photography weren't treated as art. Now it's crazy to think they're not. The key question is What is art today? The most important artists of the last 20 years are Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive, because the influence they have had is incredible and they've changed the world. That is art.
