Heston Blumenthal

You know how sad your life is when you know the release date of DVDs.

You think about some of the most memorable meals you've ever had; the food will be good but it will often be about locating a mental memory and taste is inexorably linked to all the other senses and memory, so ultimately it is all about taste.

To me, food is as much about the moment, the occasion, the location and the company as it is about the taste.

And I like asking questions, to keep learning; people with big egos might not want to look unsure.

I'm not scared of anything in particular, but I am motivated by a fear of failure as opposed to a need to succeed.
