Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith, about being held, about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.
I think viewers quite like it when I'm suffering or eating or drinking something horrible or really up against it in some quicksand or whatever.
I said 'no' to the 'Born Survivor' producer three times because I've never aspired to be a TV man.
I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.
I love Ray Mears. He's brilliant. He's so rude about me in the press, it's outrageous!
I love making healthy lean foods delicious - that's an art!
I love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food.
I come from a line of self-motivated, determined folk - not grand, not high society, but no-nonsense, family-minded go-getters.
I loved climbing because of the freedom, and having time and space. I remember coming off Everest for the last time, thinking of Dad and wishing that he could have seen what I saw. He would have loved it.
I think it's fun running with dogs. They're always so fit and fast.
Exercise helps my back. If I don't exercise, that's when it starts to hurt. The pain is a good motivator to run and exercise.
I'm terrified of walking into a room full of people. Sitting down at a dinner table with 15 strangers brings me out in a sweat.
I've eaten sheep's eyes, the still hot meat from a zebra killed by a lion, and maggots which give you 70 calories to the ounce.
Faith is personal if it's to be real.
