Life as a vegetarian: "I'm vegetarian. My parents raised me like that. I've never tried eggs, meat, fish or chicken. They became vegetarian in their late 20s, because they believe it is a healthier lifestyle. They've raised me and my brothers and sister like that. For me, it's a big thing and it's difficult when you're on the road around the world. It's tough when you're traveling in some countries. Normally, I'll try to eat as much grains, beans and chickpeas as possible. Those are rich in protein. Some places they don't understand you and they don't know what a vegetarian is. In the U.S. you have a lot ofoptions, but in many places it can be very tough."
