Cooking today is a young man’s game, I don’t give a bollocks what anyone says.

When you find a guy who is powerful, a big father figure, you latch onto him immediately.

It’s very hard when you eat out every day for a living, and a new restaurant comes along and you haven’t got that same vigour that you had 10 years ago.

Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.

I want my kids to see me as Dad, for God’s sake, not a television personality.

I am a chef who happens to appear on the telly, that’s it.

If I relaxed, if I took my foot off the gas, I would probably die.

They say cats have nine lives. I’ve had 12 already and I don’t know how many more I’ll have.

I still love football, though, and I think cooking is like football. It’s not a job, it’s a passion. When you become good at it, it’s a dream job and financially you need never to...

I won’t let people write anything they want to about me.
