"The ones that are unexpected. The other day I was getting out of a cab and a woman with a baby stroller was getting in and I just asked if she needed help.

"I'm always delightful to waiters. I always want to ask their story because they're taking that job not because that's who they are; they're taking that job for money. I always want to know where they come from, what are they studying during the day to work at night."
