Quotes That Prove Gordon Ramsay Is Surprisingly Self Aware

These quotes and GIFs only make us love him more.

Gordon Ramsay is hands-down one of the most notorious chefs in the business -- and his reputation was definitely not earned by being kind, helpful, or soft spoken. His less-than-PG mouth may actually be more famous than he is, and tends to steal the spotlight on his various TV appearances.

There's no denying Ramsay's an excellent chef, but his methods in the kitchen are undoubtedly a bit, um … unorthodox.

These 10 Gordon Ramsay quotes prove he's completely content with the way he runs things within the kitchen -- let's just call it character building, shall we?
