When I'm travelling, I always take my little notebook and scribble things down as I watch them; I'm very much geared to everything that's happening. Whereas, the diary I keep is just about a record of a day I've spent. When I'm filming, I'm looking quite intensely at everything I see and trying to get my own eye on what we're going through.

I've never particularly liked travelling with large groups or being told where to go by somebody else. I prefer to find out for myself.

I would love to go to Iran. The island of Madagascar, everyone says is pretty exotic, or the wonderful Namibian desert.

People say the most stupid things on the spur of the moment that they then have to retract.

All I ask of food is that it doesn't harm me.

When in doubt, resort to animation.

'Nice' means nothing. Is it someone who doesn't swear and shout? I swear and shout. 'Nice' sounds ineffectual.
