Gordon Ramsay Quotes

Total quotes: 37
“That level of influx of multinational workers in this country has sort of confirmed how lazy as a nation we are—when individuals from across the seas are prepared to come and work twice as hard for less money. If anything, it’s a big kick up the ass for the industry, and it’s going to get back to the modern-day apprenticeship. So not only do I welcome that kind of change, but I think it’s going to put a lot more emphasis on homegrown talent, which I think we need to do.”

“I've got four children, and they've become 'Dad, why have you got so many wrinkles on your face when Clementine's daddy has no wrinkles?' The lines were pretty horrific, like Scarface, and I was never embarrassed by it but my children helped me become more paranoid about it. You've seen the articles: craggy face, map of Wales, ugly, deflated rugby ball. There's only so much shit you want to take. I woke up in the morning and Matilda was trying to squeeze pound coins in there. In LA it was all 'Omigod, when did you go through the windscreen?' You put up with it, but then you get fucking sick of it. I listened to what Simon Cowell said, and he said, 'Get it done, it'll make you look more…'”

“I've been on my arse before, but I have a lot of determination, and I'm not weak. Next day, it's sunrise, you're at the bus stop again, and you're back to work. I've never been one for pondering or questioning and thinking. Waste of time. Dust yourself down and get back up.

“Let’s take a New York Strip. First of all, it’s got to come out of the fridge about 15-20 minutes before you cook it. Get it up to room temperature, then very carefully take your pulse [on your wrist]. The touchback—that texture is exactly how it should feel when medium-rare. Get the pan piping hot and don’t put any oil into it until that pan is smoking. Liberally season the meat, rub it with oil, and put that into the pan. Don’t oil the pan; just the marinated steak. Two and a half minutes each side, take it out and let it rest. And don’t cut it until it’s just started to cool down.”
