1 Age

  • 1. It's the golden age of French cinema again but it's because Sarkozy had the guts to push through copyright law.
  • 2. Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can't really control life – so you'd better live it while it's here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.
  • 3. I'm inspired by people who keep on rolling no matter their age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Listen once in a while. It's amazing what you can hear.
  • 2. My mother is the coolest most amazing person I know.
  • 3. For 'Around the World in 80 Plates' we got to travel all over having what was like a cross between a culinary competition and races. And in each country we had a chef Ambassador. We went to London Barcelona Bologna Hong Kong Thailand Morocco… It was amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. I'm not as angry as I used to be. But I can get in touch with that anger pretty quickly if I feel my space is being invaded or somebody is not treating me with the respect that I think I want.
  • 2. No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched.
  • 3. I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We can't express ourselves emotionally we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.
  • 2. Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight dinner soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays I go Fridays.
  • 3. Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.

5 Architecture

  • 1. No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.
  • 2. Architecture is a slow business and city planning even slower.
  • 3. The new architecture of transparency and lightness comes from Japan and Europe.
