We outsmarted ourselves and raised the bar even higher, I think.

I like finding talent. That's what really turns me on, I suppose.

As a soccer player, I wanted an FA Cup winner's medal. As an actor you want an Oscar. As a chef it's three-Michelin's stars, there's no greater than that. So pushing yourself to the extreme creates a lot of pressure and a lot of excitement, and more importantly, it shows on the plate.

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 do, and especially when I'm in New York, I'll go for a run. And I'll run 10 or 15k on my - and I run to gain my appetite.

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

How many restaurants do we know across the world that customers visit once and once only?

When you have the arrogance, the confidence and you can't cook, then you're only going to look stupid.
