- There is Keith, who is just a cook and doesn't want to be famous. He wants to lead a simple life, go out to dinner with his mates, go fishing. Then there is this other person, Floyd or Floydie. He is universally popular. People are so obsessed with Floydie that Keith can never lead a quiet life. It is unjust. I don't want to be Floyd. If I've influenced people, then I have. But I've got no idea who Floyd is. Not a clue.
- Every rock 'n' roller going was there. George Harrison opened the door. And the first thing he asked me was what I thought about vegetarian stock cubes. Paul Young wanted a menu for his tour. 'Leave it out, mate'.
- [after being fired from the BBC] I couldn't believe it. None of these boys - Rick Stein, Gary Rhodes - would be working without the Floyd thing.
