Many kids can tell you about drugs but do not know what celery or courgettes taste like.

Stop being a vegan and start enjoying what you eat.

What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

All I ever wanted to do was to make food accessible to everyone; to show that you can make mistakes - I do all the time - but it doesn't matter.

As usual, my timing is bizarrely good.

Give your kids a bloody knife and fork and let me put some fresh food in front of them they can eat.

God, why do I give interviews to 'the Guardian'? They always try to dissect you, and I don't really think about stuff in the way that you're asking me these questions.

I challenge you, to go to any school and open 50 lunchboxes, and I guarantee you there will be one or two cans of Red Bull, there'll be cold McDonald's and jam sandwiches with several cakes.

I could cook from quite an early age - purely because I liked it.

I left school with basically nothing, I was a special needs kid. I did feel as though my school had let me down.

I love roasting because you can give it love, get it in the oven and go and play with the kids or whatever you've got to do, and then hours later you've got a lovely dinner.

I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.

I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.

I wouldn't say that processed food, ready meals and even takeaways aren't relevant to modern life, it's just that over the past 40 years there are three generations of people who have come out of school and gone through their home life without ever being shown how to cook properly.

I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

I've cooked just about everything really.

If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.

It's not the extremes and the treats that are the problem. It's the everyday.

My first outdoor cooking memories are full of erratic British summers, Dad swearing at a barbecue that he couldn't put together, and eventually eating charred sausages, feeling brilliant.

My general rule is that if everyone knew how to cook fresh produce from their local area, and Monday to Thursday within 20 minutes, you know, there's millions of recipes out there to be had.

The kitchen oven is reliable, but it's made us lazy.

The public health of five million children should not be left to luck or chance.

We're in a situation now where weight and extreme weight and heart disease is the biggest killer in this country today.

When I was a schoolkid, I went to Castleton quite a few times. We'd be there studying rocks, going down these big hills. It was a great place!

Young people can be disruptive and screw up classes. But even if they are being a pain in the arse it's a cry for help - they don't feel like they are being listened to.

Its very clear that theres a lot of double standards going on. Should there be a 30mph speed limit Of course there bloody should. And certainly with kids and school food kids need to be nannied for sure. So give them a bloody good meal at school.

Sugar is the next tobacco, without a doubt, and that industry should be scared. It should be taxed just like tobacco and anything else that can, frankly, destroy lives.

Occasionally projects just take off unexpectedly, sometimes you can work away at sketches and ideas for years before they are published. There are a number of authors I would be eager to illustrate.

Nixon was always willing to be bipartisan, so there are a lot of surprises in the man.

I believe in possibility, but I'm not sure I believe in demons.

I consider high-speed data transmission an invention that became a major innovation. It changed the way we all communicate.

A woman's place is in the house - the House of Representatives.

It is extraordinary to have time to again study Le nozze di Figaro and discover new things.

I'm a theorist, not an institutionalist.

Do we really want to continue to push out the envelope of survival only to see other things crop up that we may not like?

You create yourself moment to moment. You are not born as a fixed entity, but only as a infinite potentiality.

Britain kept its position as the dominant world power well into the 20th century despite steady decline. By the end of World War II, dominance had shifted decisively into the hands of the upstart across the sea, the United States, by far the most powerful and wealthy society in world history.

Estimates of the ionic mobilities vary over a considerable range; but in any event, the positive ionic defect is much more mobile in the solid than in the liquid, and its mobility varies very little with the temperature.

I only know what I read in the papers.

Mortality is very different when you're 20 to when you're 50.

While campaigning, I got to know many high-school teachers, and let me say that the good ones are the unsung heroes of our society, and the bad ones are the gravediggers.

In my daily work, I work on very large, complex, distributed systems built out of many Python modules and packages. The focus is very similar to what you find, for example, in Java and, in general, in systems programming languages.

I toyed with the notion of being an actor, and am so glad that this whim did not go any further.

I would like to be in tons of different types of movies and do different things. I like action movies, and with 'Mr. Peabody and Sherman', I got to see a historical movie, too.

I believe there are too many practitioners in the church who are not believers.
