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.

I don't do social events, I don't do award ceremonies, I don't do charity dinners. I live my life off-radar.

If you've been given opportunities then you have to create opportunities. If you're given knowledge by people, share your knowledge. If you were born with talent, show your talent off.

If you are not extreme, then people will take shortcuts because they don't fear you.

It's extraordinary these obsessions. You conquer one but then you move onto another.

A lot of my reputation is a product of exaggeration and ignorance.

I cannot teach anybody how to cook. All I can do is show them, share methods with them.
