I admire my fellow judge Paul Hollywood enormously, though we often argue. He believes presentation and uniformity are paramount; I'm more interested in taste. I don't mind if one bun is smaller than the others, or if there's a little pastry cracking, though I don't want a soggy bottom.
I listen to my body. Some days all I want is a good steak and others, I crave veggies and quinoa.
When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.
I've been a vegetarian for years and years. I'm not judgemental about others who aren't, I just feel I cannot eat or wear living creatures.
A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others.
It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.

By cultivating rich social networks, by cultivating weak ties, not just close ties but the weak ties, by becoming connectors and by connecting others so that they connect us, we create a world in which these self-amplifying feedback loops feed on top of each other.
We know how Merce Cunningham works and how he thinks - we've been told, over and over again, by him and by others.
My job is art curator, not artist. All I have ever wanted to do is immerse myself in art, to enjoy it, to learn about it, to write about it, to talk to others about it.
We are the friends of reform; but that is not reform, which, in curing one evil, threatens to inflict a thousand others.
There are various sorts of curiosity; one is from interest, which makes us desire to know that which may be useful to us; and the other, from pride which comes from the wish to know what others are ignorant of.
No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others.
My job is to just express something that I want to express. And if I'm ahead or behind the curve, that's for others to decide.
To some, I'm too curvy. To others, I'm too tall, too busty, too loud, and, now, too small - too much, but at the same time not enough.
I have one custom guitar which I play almost exclusively. I have others - sometimes you want a little texture, kind of a different sound or something.
The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
