I would say, stay the hell away from the party scene.

When I am in situations where I break out of the pattern, it's hard on me. Once you get used to regular scripture study, you miss it if you don't have it. It's like food - you have to have it.

From Japan to Thailand, I keep discovering amazing talent, cuisine and food markets.

I always have this image of a woman running across a desert carrying children, trying to find water and food, not knowing when they'll get that.

Travelling to make television programmes means I have some unusual food memories. In Pasto, Colombia, I was taken to a restaurant where I chose my meat for the evening from a cage of white rats. It tasted perfectly good - like rabbit.
