A few years ago kids from poor areas in France were asked to draw items of food. For a chicken they drew a drumstick. For a fish they drew a fish stick. Those are extremes but there is a lot that needs to be done to help children discover good food.

Creole is New Orleans city food. Communities were created by the people who wanted to stay and not go back to Spain or France.

When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power.

I can't move back to England. My home is in France now. I'd love to but I can't. My family's all there now.

Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France from Russia from America from Yemen... Their faith is their passport.

Each country has a soul and France's soul is equality.

In France cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.

I just went off for two months traveling around Europe on a motorcycle and pretty much turned my phone off. I did 5 000 miles with my dad. We went through Holland Germany Austria Slovenia Croatia Bosnia Montenegro Italy... and then I did Spain and France by myself.

In France we don't yet have the craft that American TV does or big studios like Paramount. It was so cool going through those famous gates when you have your own little pass and picture on it. Woo hoo I'm going to work!

For years I have been going to the South of France to cool out.
