+ I don't think happiness is a remedy for unhappiness, like there was unhappy, now this is happy! What kind of a life is it if you don’t have both?

+ I am on such an anti-perfection crusade. I'm not perfect! Who wants to be? I'm not patient at all. I'm not saying everything has to be just right: you will never cook if you think the end result has to be four-star Michelin.

+ If it's something I don't want to carry on eating once I'm full, then I don't want the recipe. I'm quite ruthless. I have to feel that I want to cook the thing again, and more than once. I need to feel that I have to stop myself from cooking it all the time.

+ Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.

+ I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.

+ There is something wrong about being photographed that has nothing to do with vanity. Its like being asked to understand how other people see you, and that is something you don't ever want to know. I can understand why those primitive desert people think a camera steals their soul. It is unnatural to see yourself from the outside..
