I'm not a worrier. I like sleeping.

I spent my days on the riverbanks, in the woods, in the fields, shooting, hunting and stalking. I unravelled everything within my life. Self discovery is most important to me.

People do peculiar things in life and they do for whatever reason but I think one of the greatest crimes in life is when you lie.

I think if you've been given something in life you have a moral duty to give things back.

I didn't understand myself well enough be an ambassador to my world, to inspire people to want to cook, to inspire young people to want to come into my industry.

Chefs today choose to step onto that treadmill where they have to be seen. Every day they have to go to this party, they have to go to that party. But then you think "Who is doing the cooking?".

A tree without roots is just a piece of wood.
