Mother Nature is the true artist and our job as cooks is to allow her to shine.

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

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

Do I shout, belittle or swear? No. I have sufficient confidence within myself to control my environment just by my presence, just by working hard and leading from the front.

People who can give themselves every day. They're the people that I admire, they're real people.

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

Once you accept you are being judged by people who have less knowledge than yourself, then what's it worth?
