Stay with what's happening locally. It's really important.

It's fascinating watching the debates [of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump], with the search for the new president. It's like a car crash, unfolding in front of your eyes. The level of personal attacks!

[I spend a] lot [time travelling]. Between the restaurants, filming for TV, producing MasterChef, seeing the kids... it's pretty constant.

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

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

There is a level of snobbery and fickleness in L.A.

Something you need to do three times a day, seven days a week, and something you need to stop worrying about. If [kids] don't know how to cook, they go to junk, and then the junk becomes addictive, and then all of a sudden they're left with no choice.
