I doubt I'd ever do television to the extent that, say, Gordon Ramsay has.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm one of three judges on 'MasterChef' with Gordon Ramsay, but I don't want my own show. I'm kind of used to the sidekick gig.
Television is kind of a disappointment. I often want to watch it, but I find it quite hard - I don't like soaps, reality TV or celebrity chefs.
I don't consider myself a rock star chef, I really don't. I cook for a living and I try to help out as many people as I can in my life and that's all I care about. I don't care about the fame of television, I use to a lot.
I'm a good cook, and I look at something like 'Iron Chef' and think, 'It's a good thing I already know how to cook' - because I would never think I could do it if I watched these shows.
Gordon Ramsay, the only chef in London honored with three stars by the 'Guide Michelin,' is not a monster.
I actually haven't been approached a whole lot for television, believe it or not.
TV is a deformed vision, an excessive caricature. A chef has to stay an artisan, not become a star.
I'm Gordon Ramsay, for goodness sake: people know I'm volatile.
I hate Gordon Ramsay's programmes: I don't know if he's been told it makes good television.
I'm not a celebrity chef. I'm a chef that happens to have television shows and a chef that happens to do media.
