I am the most unselfish chef in Britain today.

Put your head down and work hard. Never wait for things to happen, make them happen for yourself through hard graft and not giving up.

I don't like looking back. I'm always constantly looking forward. I'm not the one to sort of sit and cry over spilt milk. I'm too busy looking for the next cow.

Chefs are nutters. They're all self-obsessed, delicate, dainty, insecure little souls and absolute psychopaths. Every last one of them.

Swearing is industry language. For as long as we're alive it's not going to change. You've got to be boisterous to get results.

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

The minute you start compromising for the sake of massaging somebody's ego, that's it, game over.

Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.

The problem with Yanks is they are wimps.

There's a bond among a kitchen staff, I think. You spend more time with your chef in the kitchen than you do with your own family.

Push your limit to the absolute extreme.

Trying is better option than giving up..

Your worst enemies in life are your repeated negative interpretations of your experiences.

I don't really go out to clubs, but if I did, I'd just want to go rock out with my mates or whatever.

There's plenty of anger among Muslims in the world right now. How can you have more?

People who, out of an inborn moderation, leave every glass standing only half-emptied refuse to admit that everything in the world has its sediments and dregs.

The only thing wrong with the U.S. economy is the failure of the Republican Party to play Santa Claus.

I don't have to steal bases. I steal bases because I want to.

How ridiculous not to flee from one's own wickedness, which is possible, yet endeavor to flee from another's which is not.

I've shot films in Africa. I've shot in America - English is not my language.

I would warn against holsters with devices for quick-draw. Devices always fail when you need them most.
