thinking giving trying
God, why do I give interviews to 'the Guardian'? They always try to dissect you, and I don't really think about stuff in the way that you're asking me these questions.
thinking fire missing
I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.
teacher teaching thinking
Like most of the other teachers, I'd done a bit of teaching and we all think we're great at what we do, but you realize that normally you have an audience who are all onside, who all want to listen.
team kids thinking
I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.
achieved dinners england school
We achieved such a lot in England with the school dinners campaign. Could we do the same in the States? Absolutely.
cooking trying that-one-person
It's just us trying to start a movement where everybody passes on a bit of cooking knowledge. We estimate that one person can potentially affect 180 others very quickly so we're just trying to spread the word.
cake want celebrate
I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.
england life-is
My life is really so much based in England.
rocks study hills
When I was a schoolkid, I went to Castleton quite a few times. We'd be there studying rocks, going down these big hills. It was a great place!
hate documentaries tvs
I hate making TV documentaries.
dog way would-be
Basically, we're taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest way for dogs, and after this process, is being given to human beings.
turkeys parent failing
Heads know that failing to invest in good, nutritious food is a false economy and parents won't tolerate reconstituted turkey being put back on the menu.
monday recipes thursday
My general rule is that if everyone knew how to cook fresh produce from their local area, and Monday to Thursday within 20 minutes, you know, there's millions of recipes out there to be had.
pain class people
Young people can be disruptive and screw up classes. But even if they are being a pain in the arse it's a cry for help - they don't feel like they are being listened to.
