You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster.

I was always brought up to have a cup of tea at halfway up a rock face.

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

I am not fearless. I get scared plenty. But I have also learned how to channel that emotion to sharpen me.

I have held healthy respects of bears along with assorted crocodiles, snakes and lots of other animals. You know, bears are dangerous, you have to be super careful.

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra. And for me, I had always grown up with the belief that if someone succeeds it is because they are brilliant or talented or just better than me... and the more of these words I heard the smaller I always felt! But the truth is often very different... and for me to learn that ordinary me can achieve something extra-ordinary by giving that little bit extra, when everyone else gives up, meant the world to me and I really clung to it.

Life is an adventure that is best lived boldly
