And if you give your heart to a goal, it will repay you. It's the law of the universe.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.
