A tree without roots is just a piece of wood.

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

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

The more I invested in myself, the kinder I was to myself and the more I understood myself.

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.

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.

Gastronomy is the greatest form of therapy that anyone can be exposed to.
