But most is all to do with work. There are aspects of work that are enjoyable, that you could call a hobby.

I am not the world's most confident person.

It was not easy with a newborn, asking your wife to give up the family home and your security.
hockey ice people
It was quite a challenge to make people eat crab ice cream.
kings kitchen care
This kitchen is completely calm. Some of the old-fashioned chefs - they become kings in their kitchen, they've got to be called chef. But I don't care if someone calls me chef or Heston, it really doesn't bother me.

I was determined that if I failed it wouldn't be due to lack of effort

I would try doing a dish 30 different ways

There are so many issues in our oceans - like the near extinction of blue fin tuna - that should be taken more seriously worldwide.

I worked 120 hours a week for eight years. That's 20 to 22 hours a day every day and one week I only got 15 hours sleep.

I write and chop with my left hand and do everything else, including eating with a knife, with my right.

And I like asking questions, to keep learning; people with big egos might not want to look unsure.
