Our dreams are just wishes, if we never follow them through with action. And in life, you have got to be able to light your own fire.

I do see a lot of the hard end of ecology, and my feeling is that we live on a super-exciting planet but a super-fragile one.

Change the way you use your time, and you change your life.

It breaks my heart that my father never knew my children. He should have been around for another 25 years.

The rules of survival never change, whether you're in a desert or in an arena.

Some of the greatest survivors have been women. Look at the courage so many women have shown after surviving earthquakes in the rubble for days on end.

You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.
