I have no regrets in my life. If not for the mistakes that I made I would not be the man I am today.

In London I'm not seen in public. I don't go to award ceremonies or gatherings. I just don't go because I like my privacy. I like being with my family and I like being in their company. I work very hard and I don't have much time so I just want to be with my family or in the English countryside. I don't take holidays.

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

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

I can't imagine anything worse than trying to impress a girl with dinner. To be honest, I'm always impressing myself, not other people.

I have no problem in asking a diner to leave for two reasons: 1. If they are rude to my staff. No one has that right. If we make a mistake, allow us to rectify it. 2. If they are loud and abusive at the table. They have no regard or respect for the other diners, who may have worked very hard to save up their cash to afford your prices.

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