The level of jealousy and insecurity in this industry [restaurant] is far greater than ever before.
Gordon Ramsay

My wife, a schoolteacher, very disciplined. If you think I'm tough, trust me, and wait till you see when the children are on the naughty step. It's hilarious. So we decided that I'm going to work like a donkey and provide amazing support for the family.

There is a level of snobbery and fickleness in L.A.
Gordon Ramsay
Image
The thing is, I can teach. I can teach bloody well. So few chefs have that level of generosity. I demand a lot, a f***ing hell of a lot, but I give a lot back.
Gordon Ramsay
Image
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.

Would I swap what I have achieved as a cook if I could have been as successful as a footballer? Definitely.
Gordon Ramsay
Image
I act on impulse and I go with my instincts.

I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.
Gordon Ramsay

It's very hard when you eat out every day for a living, and a new restaurant comes along and you haven't got that same vigour that you had 10 years ago.
Gordon Ramsay

When you cook under pressure you trade perfection.

I can't say, maybe it's something in the ingredients, but again, we have a couple of contestants from Long Island and a phenomenal array of chefs.

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.

I suppose your security is your success and your key to success is your fine palate.
Gordon Ramsay

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.
Gordon Ramsay

There's a side to reality TV that is part education, as well. I've seen that since doing MasterChef Junior, in terms of the effect it has on the confidence given these young kids from 8 to 13, a quality life skill. Even if they never pursue cooking as a job or a career, just learning how to cook for yourself sets you up in a good place.

I am a chef who happens to appear on the telly, that's it.

We're fragile, fragmented souls who are very sensitive to criticism.
Gordon Ramsay

Pressure's healthy. It becomes stressful when you can't handle that. I mean, if you don't want to become pressurized in this environment, then don't be a chef.
Gordon Ramsay

I want my kids to see me as Dad, for God's sake, not a television personality.

I shoot from the hip.
