I always had a really natural faith as a kid. Where I knew God existed and it felt very free and pretty wild and natural, and it wasn't religious.

When I'm in 'Man vs. Wild' mode, it's not pleasure. Every sensor is firing and I'm on reserve power all the time and I'm digging deep - and that's the magic of it as well, and that's raw and it's great.

Our achievements are generally limited only by the beliefs we impose on ourselves.

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra.

Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying.

All my life the only thing I've been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.

Survival requires us to leave our prejudices at home. It's about doing whatever it takes - and ultimately those with the biggest heart will win.
