Liz Bonnin: 'I also love to visit the west and I think it’s more my spiritual home than Dublin. I’m obsessed with the Burren.' Photograph: Pipwhen I was nine. We lived by the sea and close to the mountains in France so it was a very outdoorsy lifestyle. There was a little wood outside our house, and my sister and I were always outside with our dogs looking at snakes, hedgehogs and spiders.

I found the food shocking. I’ll never forget going to some friends’ houses and being served the classic meat, overcooked vegetables and big boiled potato on a side plate. I remember sitting there thinking: ”What is this? Where’s the rice? Where’s the pasta? Where’s the grilled fish?”Babygirl review: Five stars for a fearless Nicole Kidman’s dive into a hot erotic mess.
I recently hosted a beautiful awards ceremony that celebrated extraordinary humans in Africa who are pulling out all the stops to protect nature in the face of the challenges ahead. I want to make a programme about all the great stuff that’s happening around the world because we’re not told. Every news headline is rape, pillage and murder, death, horror, fear and war, but that’s not the way the world is.
We all need to take a long hard look at the part we’re playing in a collective system that isn’t fit for purpose any more, and Ireland isn’t immune to that
