The closed mind is a disease. You need to have an open mind; otherwise life will just pass you by.

The only time you have no opportunities is when you decide to stop taking them.

Take the stupidest thing you've ever done. At least it's done. It's over. It's gone. We can all learn from our mistakes and heal and move on. But it's harder to learn or heal or move on from something that hasn't happened; something we don't know and is therefore indefinable; something which could very easily have been the best thing in our lives, if only we'd taken the plunge, if only we'd held our breath and stood up and done it, if only we'd said yes.

As a kid, so many films made me want to travel... the New York of 'Ghostbusters', the Shanghai that 'Indiana Jones' swung a few punches in. However, if I had to name one film that inspires travel, it would have to be 'E.T.' - especially if I could do it by flying BMX as he did...!

Sometimes the little opportunities that fly at us each day can have the biggest impact.

If I was going to act irresponsibly, the least I could do was be responsible for it.

Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit.
