It's football all day on Sunday. I wish we had football every day; that would make me way happier. Why can't we have that? You've got all these teams! Why can't we just play a Monday game, a Tuesday game, a Wednesday game?

I was raised not so much in a puritan environment, but for the most part, a pretty healthy one.

I'm gonna open a small restaurant on the beach in Mexico. We're only gonna have a few tables, and we're only gonna cook what's fresh that day. We're gonna get back to the basics.

I definitely eat in moderation and exercise.

Howie Mandel is the real deal.

I'm not doing anything for anybody. I'm doing what I do.

I've been using the same hair wax for as long as I can remember. I'm not a gel guy, I'm not a perfume guy, not really into any of that.

The opportunity to be a star chef, to imagine it would be here in Las Vegas, I couldn't comprehend it.

I'm a chef, I own restaurants, and there's a behavior in the kitchen you have to have.

I love that UNLV is a big-little school, that you can still have access and support as a student.

Look, the fame rocket is only on the upward trajectory for a limited time.

I really believe you've gotta put the power in the people. They're the ones who are gonna make the experience.

Avocados that haven't fully ripened will lack the big flavor you want for your dip.

People are very phobic about fish. And if they do cook fish, they fry it, which kills all the flavor.

I've never been an apron fan; it's all too cumbersome to me.

Losing my sister to cancer was... That was the worst thing in the world, man.

What you see is what you get with me. There's no show.

I'm not a greasy food guy. I don't eat like that.

Anybody that pays attention to hate really is wasting their time. I don't subscribe. I don't buy in.

I am the worst at the grocery store. It turns into three carts. It turns into, 'Oh did you see the truffle cheese? We've got to get the truffle cheese!'

The Tom Brady sandwich would be a prosciutto with a nice Buffalo mozzarella, on a crispy baguette with a little fresh basil. Brady is classy; he's a really cool dude. He's got a lot of flavor.

I was even more of a Hagar fan when he was just Hagar and not Van Hagar.

Not everybody would choose to be a firefighter or an ambulance driver. Not everyone wants to see the nasty bits of life.

I'll always give it my all, and to be with a quality manufacturer like BMW is mega.

I don't go out. I work, go racing, then go to my shed and make things.

If you get beaten, and you know that you tried your hardest and kept your focus, then that's all you can do.

When I crash during a race and injure myself, what's the point in whinging? Because I put myself in that position. No one's making me race motorbikes - I want to go and race motorbikes. The most annoying thing for me is lying in hospital and not being able to get to work. I get beside myself.

People who race bikes don't talk about crashes. They keep going.

I've had sideburns since I was 16, but back then, a gust of wind would have blown them off.

I get home from work at six or seven. When I'm busy, I set my alarm for three, get out of bed at quarter past three. I have a cup of tea and read a magazine and take the dogs for a walk up the lane. Go through my text messages and reply to anything that needs it, then get my biking gear on ready to cycle to work.

If I'd done 'Top Gear,' I would have had to have left my job, and I've got the best job in the world. To do 'Top Gear' and do it properly would mean leaving work, and I can't. I don't want to leave work.

I'm a great believer in setting myself goals, and I like to think that, once I've a goal to aim for, I'll do whatever it takes to achieve it.

I like talking but on my terms. I don't like people talking to me, but I like talking to people.

Pike's Peak was the single best thing I've ever done in motorbiking.

They don't call it the Wall of Death for nothing. The biggest risk is crashing off the top. That's when it gets really messy.

I remember, my first season was 1999, and I must have crashed about 13 times in that first year. But then, in the second season, you crash about half as much and then, in the third year, even less again.

I'm not an idiot. Everything is calculated that I do.

A few people have said my granddad looks like me, but I reckon he's far better looking.

I've never lived like a bloody rock star or anything.

Building the machine for 'Speed' was fun, as was working on the 'Spitfire' programme. They are programmes I enjoyed being on, but they are not my job.

I'd never be disrespectful to road racing. The sport was good to me.

I was working for Martin Finnegan. He was my best mate in racing. I went to his wedding in November 2007. No-one else from the racing world was invited apart from me and my girlfriend. The funeral was the following May.

There's a line you have when you're racing, and you can ride up to that line. If you push beyond it, you might crash. But first is first, second is forgotten. That's what we say.

I don't go to racers' funerals.

My back is full of metal; so are my hands and legs. I'll have to decide who will get all that in my will. It's probably worth a fortune in scrap metal. But it doesn't affect my movement.

I work nights on a farm in the summer when harvest starts. I work on a civil engineering site down the Humber Docks where all the refineries are. So that's my day job from seven to four. And then I build engines at night.

I can't stop biting off more than I can chew.

I love Scarborough. I think I have more wins there than anyone else.

TV's not really a job, is it?

The TT taxes your mind.
