I've always been generous and like giving to charities and people in need.

I've become quite a serious explorer: I've been to Everest three times; I'm the oldest man to reach the North Pole; and I've just been to the lost world of Venezuela.

There will be no funeral! Before I get too old and ill, I'll go to South America and live among the Pemon people and meditate. When the time is right, they can throw my body into the volcano.

I've completed half of my space training at Space City in Moscow. I love adventure, and I've been training in a centrifuge and MiG Fighter with a view to going into space and being a spokesman for space exploration!

I threw [Picasso's] drawing on the floor and in doing so, threw away about £50m.

Wishing kindness and compassion to all living creatures.

I've always hated it when people overspend, are spoilt or throw their money away.
