I am what I am. A fighter.

I am the most unselfish chef in Britain today.

When you’re a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don’t actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I’ll...

I’m quite a chauvinistic person.

If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that’s exactly what I did.

I’m not trying to take New York by storm. I just want to sneak in there, keep my head down, batten down the hatches and cook.

I cook, I create, I’m incredibly excited by what I do, I’ve still got a lot to achieve.

I shoot from the hip.

You don’t come into cooking to get rich.

It’s vulgar, coming from where I do, to talk about money.
