I am not a great cook, I am not a great artist, but I love art, and I love food, so I am the perfect traveller.

Geography is the subject which holds the key to our future

Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life

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.

The trouble with travelling back later on is that you can never repeat the same experience.

There is barely a country in the world where you will be completely safe.

I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.
