"The unfed mind devours itself."

“We know our dying means we come together with God, but we will live for God, for the state.”

“Do not despair. Instead of enjoying ourselves while sitting in a position of authority that is based on defamation and betrayal, it is far more valuable to be thrown into a dark dungeon and be with Al-Haqq.”

“This gold was used to bribe the weak among us.”

"My wife, a schoolteacher, very disciplined. If you think I'm tough, trust me, and wait till you see when the children are on the naughty step. It's hilarious. So we decided that I'm going to work like a donkey and provide amazing support for the family."

"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."

"I train my chefs completely different to anyone else. My young girls and guys, when they come to the kitchen, the first thing they get is a blindfold. They get blindfolded and they get sat down at the chef's table... Unless they can identify what they're tasting, they don't get to cook it."

"I think every chef, not just in America, but across the world, has a double-edged sword - two jackets, one that's driven, a self-confessed perfectionist, thoroughbred, hate incompetence and switch off the stove, take off the jacket and become a family man."

"I'm quite a chauvinistic person."

"There are values far beyond those of contracts, markets and exchange"

"I never subscribed to what you might call the neo-Conservative position that somehow, at the barrel of a gun, overnight, liberty and democracy could be conjured up."

"I love Scotland; I love the NHS. I was born into the NHS; I grew up in the NHS. My family grew up in the NHS."

"When I lost the sight of my eye and faced the prospect of going blind, my sight was saved by the NHS."

"Markets need morals."

"Our common realm is not and cannot be stripped of values - I absolutely reject the idea that religion should somehow be tolerated but not encouraged in public life."

"Why is playing football in Europe considered the pinnacle of our game, yet in other spheres of life, that same phrase - 'being in Europe' - is dismissed with suspicion?"

"Britain must lead in Europe to intensify the fight against global terrorism and make our country safer."

"I am a father with young kids, and you want to know the jobs in the future are going to be there."

"I think fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers - we should look at what young people are saying to us."

"Nigel Farage wanted to privatise the health service. Nigel Farage does not believe in the values we believe in for our public services."

"The patriotism in Britain comes from us being a leader. On jobs, on tax havens, on workers' rights, on the environment. We can be leading Europe... and it will be to the benefit of every British citizen."
