You’re talking for three hours, completely unscripted — the background to someone’s morning. So you just say what’s on your mind, really, and try to be as open and honest as possible. The funny thing is, people come up to me in a supermarket and say ‘that thing you said about tomatoes three weeks ago — that really changed my life. And I have absolutely no idea what I said about tomatoes. It’s a hell of a responsibility!”
