When you cook under pressure you trade perfection.

I cook, I create, I'm incredibly excited by what I do, I've still got a lot to achieve.

Would I swap what I have achieved as a cook if I could have been as successful as a footballer? Definitely.

I'm not trying to take New York by storm. I just want to sneak in there, keep my head down, batten down the hatches and cook.

When you're a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don't actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I'll do, and especially when I'm in New York, I'll go for a run. And I'll run 10 or 15k on my - and I run to gain my appetite.

As a soccer player, I wanted an FA Cup winner's medal. As an actor you want an Oscar. As a chef it's three-Michelin's stars, there's no greater than that. So pushing yourself to the extreme creates a lot of pressure and a lot of excitement, and more importantly, it shows on the plate.
