Stay green, stay in the woods, and stay safe.
I was impressed by the Taj Mahal. A good bit of work, well looked after, worth paying money to see.
I am into nature and seeing whales. I went whale-watching, and I was really looking forward to that, but when you see it on TV and you see other programs do it, you're seeing close-ups of these massive creatures, and the music that's added gives you a certain feeling.
I'm not a proper traveler. I don't like to be challenged or have too much of a change and prefer a week away just to relax.
I've got loads of nieces and nephews.
It wouldn't happen... There hasn't been one publication by a monkey
I'm not invited to any exciting parties and my life hasn't really changed.
Making the 'An Idiot Abroad' series, I was really dreading going to India; I thought I'd hate it. It was a nightmare, and I was really ill - just like everyone says.
If you go away with, you know, a girlfriend, wife, whatever, you have an argument on holiday because you're not used to spending that much time with people.
Everyone is living for everyone else now. They're doing stuff so they can tell other people about it. I don't get all that social media stuff, I've always got other things I want to do - odd jobs around the house. No one wants to hear about that.
I know who I am. Bloody hell, I'm getting enough bills for Karl Pilkington so I hope I am him, 'cos if I'm not, I have no idea who I'm paying for
The poorer people and criminals of Mexico who are not very religious but not quite atheists, either, worship Saint Death.
Me mum used to always have the radio on - even now she has it on in every room. Me girlfriend sort of blames that reason for me not doing that well at school - constant noise, really.
I don't want to go about offending people, that's not my plan.
