Famous Quotes & Sayings

Mark Burnett

So many people wanted an adventure. It was really more about finding the cast that I wanted for 'Expedition Impossible,' so it had good diversity, and people could really say, 'Oh, there's the firefighters, there's the team of cops, there's the grandpa' - so that you can really relate with them.

Meat-fetishiser that I was, I used to find willed vegetarianism inexplicable.

That seemed madness to me.
