When I'm on the road, I'll break my exercise into a cardio session and a weights session.

What I learned about America is that anything is possible, but sometimes people get into businesses they shouldn't be in. They go in without capital or know how, but their mothers had told them that they could cook, and they're good with people.

I always worked in institutions, I never had a restaurant of my own before, but I have opened over 30 hotels, restaurants and casinos. I understand what it takes to keep them running.

Every meal should end with something sweet.

I had written two cookbooks, and they had done well, but I wanted to move to fitness, because it's big with me.

The sharing of food is like breaking bread, it's very symbolic.

For years - especially in England where I come from - cooking was a subservient job. When I told my Dad I was going to be a cook, he wouldn't talk to me for two years. Even though it was associated with my military service, he thought cooking was beneath me.
