Experience
|
Nov 07, 2020

I really like the Observer. I think I'd love to have a column with a broad reach that would enable me to do some proper reporting, but keep it on sort of a humorous level. I've always had a very happy experience writing for them.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

People in London think of London as the center of the world, whereas New Yorkers think the world ends three miles outside of Manhattan.

Describe
|
Nov 07, 2020

I wouldn't describe myself as a master of anything.

Go
|
Nov 07, 2020

The moment I'm perceived to be even a tiny bit successful, my career will go down the pan.

Bad
|
Nov 07, 2020

If anything bad happens, the media will leap on it. We're under a huge obligation to be successful.

Nov 07, 2020

There's no reason why you can't deliver a grammar-school curriculum to an all-ability intake.

Mechanic
|
Nov 07, 2020

I tried being a mechanic and I tried catering, but I realized I had even less aptitude for semi-skilled labour than for academic work.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've never been to a shrink. But my parents were very psychologically literate - my father had undergone Freudian analysis - and we often talked about other people in psychological terms, so I picked up a lot of that.

Father
|
Nov 07, 2020

Oddly, I do have a problem with authority. I find it very difficult to knuckle down and follow rules. Which are the classic symptoms of someone who has a troubled relationship with their father. And yet, I never had a problem with my father.

Political
|
Nov 07, 2020

I expect that in 40 years' time I'll be writing political tomes and working for an organisation like Oxfam.

Food
|
Nov 07, 2020

I swear, I didn't really go in thinking, 'I'll be the Simon Cowell' of 'Top Chef.' I was just used to being a judge on British food shows where people are much more outspoken and rather rude. That's the culture over here.

Eating
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's very different doing a food show in America and doing one in Britain. I did a 20-part series for the BBC series called 'Eating With the Enemy.' The budget for all 20 episodes was probably the budget for a single episode of 'Top Chef.' It's the difference between making a home movie in your backyard and going to Hollywood.

Game
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Top Chef' is a very smooth-running machine. All the people working there are incredibly professional and absolutely at the top of their game.

Chefs
|
Nov 07, 2020

I miss being fawned over by restaurateurs and chefs.

Dinner Party
|
Nov 07, 2020

You know when you tell a self-deprecating story at a dinner party, everyone's laughing along with you? But then when someone else repeats that same story at another dinner party you feel they're all laughing at you?

Long
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think I've been wishing for celebrity for so long that I've got used to being someone who's petitioning the establishment for acceptance... my whole schtick, my whole identity, is so wrapped up in being a petitioner that I don't really know how to react now that petition has been granted.

Disaster
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've become a professional failure - in order to pay the mortgage I have to remain unemployed. Luckily, a disaster always seems to befall me at exactly the right moment.

First
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was once hired to write a column for 'The Guardian' and then got fired before I'd submitted my first one. That was unusual. Most newspapers wait until I've written at least one piece for them before firing me.
