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.

We have never done anything in a cynical fake way

To have 95% of the ingredients sourced, food and wine, within 100 miles radius, that's a dream come true for any chef.

Another person tattooed my face on their calf. When they tense, the face moves! That is messed up.

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

My wife, a schoolteacher, very disciplined. If you think I'm tough, trust me, and wait till you see when the children are on the naughty step. It's hilarious. So we decided that I'm going to work like a donkey and provide amazing support for the family.

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.
