Food was always a big part of my life. My grandfather was one of 14 kids and his parents had a pasta factory so as a kid he and his siblings would sell pasta door to door. After he became a movie producer he opened up De Laurentiis Food Stores - one in Los Angeles and one in New York.

Global trade has advantages. For starters it allows those of us who live through winter to eat fresh produce year-round. And it provides economic benefits to farmers who grow that food.

Investing in health will produce enormous benefits.

I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen there's about 50 people with producer credits so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.

We were delighted to have Nigel as a producer. The only problem is that Nigel is so famous that he seems to dominate most interviews without being there.

He makes me laugh Mick! He tended to turn up when we were having lunch and entertain us all. He bought an Enigma machine! I've never worked with a producer who was more famous than everyone put together.

Let it ever be remembered that genuine faith in Christ will ever be productive of good works for this faith worketh by love as the apostle says and love to God always produces obedience to his holy laws.
