Life's full of lots of dream-stealers always telling you you need to do something more sensible. I think it doesn't matter what your dream is, just fight the dream-stealers and hold onto it.

I said no to the Born Survivor producer three times because I've never aspired to be a TV man.

I've had so many injuries in my life that it's ridiculous.

The appeal of the wild for me is its unpredictability. You have to develop an awareness, react fast, be resourceful and come up with a plan and act on it.

I love making healthy lean foods delicious - that's an art!

It's unresolved conflict in my life that I have a lovely family and a risky job.

Survival is not about being fearless. It's about making a decision, getting on and doing it, because I want to see my kids again, or whatever the reason might be.
