EXCLUSIVE: TV chef Jamie Oliver tells us about his new children’s book and how enduring tough times can make you strive harder - 'life's not supposed to be easy'
He’s known the world over, is the top-selling non-fiction author in the UK, has a TV career spanning 25 years and yet, somehow, always appears so down to earth. Maybe it’s having a large family – Jamie Oliver and wife Jools have five children, aged between seven and 22.
“Confidence, worry and anxiety are part of a cauldron of different emotions that challenge us,” he says. “And, when you’re young, they can hold you back. But, as you get older, a tension that makes you do your best work. “I had such resentment towards the written word and traditional learning. I’ve got rid of that now. I guess what I’m trying to say is book two was not a chore. It was beyond exciting. And, without knowing it, it was therapy. To be heading towards 50 and still learning big lessons, still making yourself vulnerable to criticism – I’m proud of it.”
