“You go to, I don’t know, someplace like Nashville and you go to a bar and if you are alone, you make friends so quick and it looks like you, in a few minutes, belong in that place and when you go around America, that for me was a massive surprise. People say, ‘Americans have no healthy food. Yes, you have healthy food but also you have the food. Chick-fil-A. It’s amazing, no? Chick-fil-A, but you go to Whole Foods.

I think we are much better people now, knowing that country and the culture of the people here.”
