Smoking, but I don't see it as a vice.

I would take them to a boathouse on one of the Belgrade rivers.

These boathouses have all kinds of music, from gypsy music to techno.

Pljeskavica - which is hamburger.

I was so impressed - it was amazing.

Melancholia, a Danish art film starring Kirsten Dunst.

Jazz musician Pat Metheny, Rebirth Brass Band from New Orleans, dubstep DJ Skrillex and Amy Winehouse and Modern Maori Quartet - they were amazing.

Q What makes your blood boil?

Daily politics in Serbia, which has become an MTV show.

Balkan Sounds is on at St Paul's Cathedral at 1pm today.
