"I am very much enjoying the fatherhood..." - Quote by Anthony Bourdain

“I have the best job in the world.”

“Regret is something you’ve got to just live with, you can’t drink it away. You can’t run away from it. You can’t trick yourself out of it. You’ve just got to own it.”

“I'm evangelical on the subject of some chefs and writers.”

“There's nothing better than having a baby. I've always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I'd be overwhelmed, and it's true... I can't tell you how much my attitude has changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.”

“Lucky that man whose children make his happiness in life and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes.”

“I've been cooking for a nine-year-old and her friends for the better part of seven or eight years. It's how I cook today, it's what makes me happy. I tend to overcompensate for my long absences when I'm home by cooking and it's therapeutic to me - it's how I express love for my daughter. It felt good to do.”

“When one has not had a good father, one must create one.”

“It makes me unhappy when brothers make babies and leave a young mother to be a pappy.”

“Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father. It's the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.”
