“If you can eat with mates or friends or family, I mean, it's such a brilliant thing isn't it? If you feel really rubbish and you have a nice bit of food it makes you feel good, you know?”

“Just because the Americans are so good at rattling out accessible and cheap junk food, nobody looks twice when it comes to their food. But there are golden nuggets everywhere.”

“I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they're all really cool.”

“Well tended garden is better than a neglected wood lot.”
