Success almost always follows great attitude. The two attract each other!
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.
The rewards of the wild and the rewards of the survivor go to those who can dig deep, and, ultimately, to the guy who can stay alive.
I think it's fun running with dogs. They're always so fit and fast.
I find skydiving really hard. I broke my back while skydiving when I was in the military, and for 18 months all my nightmares were about falling.
You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster.
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 always wanted to be Robin Hood or John the Baptist when I was growing up.
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 love Ray Mears. He's brilliant. He's so rude about me in the press, it's outrageous!
I don't like expeditions where it is a total lottery whether you live or die. You have to keep those sort of good luck cards for rare occasions!
I come from a line of self-motivated, determined folk - not grand, not high society, but no-nonsense, family-minded go-getters.
Faith is personal if it's to be real.
The greatest journeys all start with a single step.
