We're in a world that is run by accountants and I think that it's sad in many ways.

Once you grow up and discover yourself as a human being you look at things for what they are.

Don't dress for others, dress for yourself. Clothes should be an extension of what you represent and what you feel inside.

I wasn't manufactured. I was cut from the cloth of the very old world of gastronomy. There was no such thing as celebrity chefs, chefs were trained and I like to think that I still represent those old values from that world and the opportunities that I am offered I often say no to.

I've never tried to be a celebrity chef, people call me that but I was that young boy that the media chose.

Success is born out of arrogance, but greatness comes from humility.

I find supermarkets fascinating places. It's extraordinary, you can buy anything there.
