I have two bowls of confidence for breakfast each morning.

I used to say in the cabinet room, 'confidence is not like a can of Popeye spinach - you can't take the top off and swallow it down.' You know, confidence has to be earned.

If you are prepared, then you are able to feel confident.

My eating habits were so bad for many years that I didn't actually know the intricacies of making a salad.

I've never been that confident. I don't tend to think, swaggeringly, 'I'm going to ace this.' It's just not who I am.

I've never been super confident about anything. The work is never as good as it could be.

If you are prepared, you will be confident, and will do the job.

I'd never really thought of eating salads before.

Take your average couscous salad, and it's almost always a sloppy mush, no matter how much attention has gone into getting flavours in there.
