"If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that’s exactly what I did." ― Gordon Ramsay Topic(s): Great More From Gordon Ramsay "Swearing is industry language. For as long as we’re alive it’s not going to change. You’ve got to be boisterous to get results." "The pressure on young chefs today is far greater than ever before in terms of social skills, marketing skills, cooking skills, personality and, more importantly, delivering on the plate. So you need to be strong. Physically fit. So my chefs get weighed every time they come into the kitchen." "It’s vulgar, coming from where I do, to talk about money." More In Great "While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course."― Larry Bird "I was passionate. I found something that I loved. I could be all alone in a big old skating rink and nobody could get near me and I didn’t have to talk to anybody because of my shyness. It was great. I was in my fantasy world."― Dorothy Hamill "Every great man, every successful man, no matter what the field of endeavor, has known the magic that lies in these words: every adversity has the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit."― W. Clement Stone
