It has always stood for f***ing great food.

Having four kids of my own, fifth one on the way... I think with Junior, what's happened over the last three years is this program's been implemented across schools.

I train my chefs completely different to anyone else. My young girls and guys, when they come to the kitchen, the first thing they get is a blindfold. They get blindfolded and they get sat down at the chef's table... Unless they can identify what they're tasting, they don't get to cook it.

MasterChef Junior for me was about working closely with these kids and getting them to reeducate their parents to understand that food is as important educationally as Math and English and it's important that we don't take it for granted.

We outsmarted ourselves and raised the bar even higher, I think.

I cook, I create, I'm incredibly excited by what I do, I've still got a lot to achieve.

I still love football, though, and I think cooking is like football. It's not a job, it's a passion. When you become good at it, it's a dream job and financially you need never to worry. Ever.

In order to create a little bit of confidence, start cooking with pasta. Pasta is phenomenal. Once you've cooked pasta properly for the first time it becomes second nature.

The kids now, on Junior, we educate the parents and it's quite a fascinating turnaround. You can just see the parents thinking, S - , 10 years ago I was eating so bad, and now I'm seeing it through the eyes of my kids at 9, 10 years of age. There is an upside to that side of reality TV. It's not all negative.

I'm Gordon Ramsay, for goodness sake: people know I'm volatile.

I'm quite a chauvinistic person.

I'm actually not really a breakfast person.

Eating out doesn't have to be a formula. Eating out is about having fun. I get really frustrated when it's badly done.

There's nothing new. I think that's the weird thing for me. Over the last couple of months, the keep-fit shows, and then at the end of it you get to lose weight and one of you is going to win a million dollars - that's not real. In many ways, even 10 years ago that wouldn't have worked.

The amount of customers who take pictures before they eat is insane.

Videoing, lifting it, prodding it, and five minutes later they might even eat it! That first approach to the naked eye is crucial, so when you see pictures coming through on your social media, it does push you to be a little more creative and raise the bar a little bit higher.

Stop taking things personally. Throughout the time with Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell, when they work, you don't get any praise. When they fail, you get blamed. You're f - ed either way, but it doesn't stop me doing them, I think.

There is a level of snobbery and fickleness in L.A.

To have 95% of the ingredients sourced, food and wine, within 100 miles radius, that's a dream come true for any chef.

If you become a chef because you're obsessed by becoming a celebrity, getting my ass kicked and working my nuts off the way I did in France and getting pushed around those kitchens wasn't about becoming famous.
