Growing up, my dad was the ultimate person for open-mindedness.

I spent ages learning to take photos, which was a lot of fun, and I think it really helped readers get excited about the recipes.

My aim is to get people excited about eating more veggies and seeing them as delicious ingredients rather than a chore.

The free-from aisle is the most depressing place in the supermarket.

Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom; wait until they have been married longer.

No one - not a conservative or liberal or whatever - can stand back and 'define' what marriage means. Other people's marriages have nothing to do with mine; whether my neighbors are divorced or gay or widowed will not lead me to change anything about how my wife and I deal with each other or how we raise our children.

I'm a married gay man, so you might think that I appreciate the government forcing a Christian baker or photographer or florist to act against their religion in order to cater, photograph, or decorate my wedding. But you'd be wrong. A government that can force Christians to violate their conscience can force me to violate mine.

My decision to end my marriage was such a risk to lose ratings and lose my fan base. I had to take that risk for my inner peace and to be happy with myself.
