When you're only halfway interested in something, you'll lose to someone obsessed. It won't even be close. 

doing something for craft is really important but that process can be painful…it’s a weird thing…dark and light braided together

If you're not passionate about the field you're engaged in you won't have the grit or perseverance to compete with those who are.

The pursuit of detail is the religion of success.

Make every detail perfect and limit the number of details to perfect.

I have an uncompromising sense of detail which permeates everything I do. The meals I serve, the parties I have, the business I created, the places I go, my friends, my family, my business associates everything must be treated with infinite respect and care.
