I haven't always hated McDonald's. When my kids were little and I lived in the U.S., they were as susceptible as anyone to Happy Meals and tatty toys that subsequently littered our sitting room.

The great thing about McDonald's is that they have a lot of different things on the menu. I love their salads.

The biggest threat to McDonald's lies within - and that is us as a company becoming complacent. There are a lot of companies that get fat, dumb and happy and take their eye off the ball and forget about serving customers.

Ultimately, the bread and butter of McDonald's is delivering great service, great quality food, at affordable prices day in and day out.

We cover hamburgers, chicken, veggie burgers, salads, we've got a pretty broad range. To me, McDonald's isn't only about the food. It's about the prices, it's about the way we eat.

When you get an invitation to come back and be part of the team that will be the architect of the next generation of growth, when you get an opportunity in a business of the size and scope of McDonald's, that's incredibly attractive.

Many of the criticisms about McDonald's are false. We are keen to provide people with as much nutritional information as possible to help them manage their diets.

It would be arrogant of us for me to say everything at McDonald's is perfect.

McDonald's is good for me.

There are some people who are Burger King people, and there are some people who are McDonald's people.
