What I've learned

As told to Esquire by the late chef Julia Child in June 2000:

If you're in a good profession, it's hard to get bored, because you're never finished--there will always be work you haven't yet done.

There is nothing worse than grilled vegetables.

Being tall is an advantage, especially in business. People will always remember you. And if you're in a crowd, you'll always have some clean air to breathe.

Always remember: If you're alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who's going to know?

I don't believe in heaven. I think when we die we just go back to the great ball of energy that makes up the universe.
