L.A. is the opposite of Britain in a lot of respects, and that's what draws so many British people here.
From Louis Theroux
You can say, 'I am a poet, rock-climbing shaman, and my name is Hiawatha Moonbeam,' and people in America will say, 'Hey, that's great. All power to you, man'.
I'm not that comfortable doing polemic or being strident.
I don't like that feeling of holding back difficult questions. I feel like the more I can be transparent in the way I approach a story, the more it makes a satisfying programme.
I never misrepresent my position - you've got to be strong enough to make the argument and marshal the case.
Sometimes I feel a bit socially disconnected in terms of being a little bit gullible about how people interrelate emotionally.
Arguably, there's an emotional side of life that I'm not always completely plugged into.
Clearly I'm able to read emotions. But I do feel... What is it? Awkwardness. I'm not a slick dude. That's what it comes down to. The nakedness, the guilelessness... that's quite real.
Most people feel that they are the heroes of their own lives and that they're good people. So if they're in a crisis, they feel an understandable urge to set out their own version of events.
I feel like, if there's an elephant in the room, I'd really like to start off by introducing the elephant in the room. And sometimes it's funny.
