Once I've decided to do something, I do usually try to carry it through to fruition.

I was a dreamer when I was at high school and even primary school. I used to dream about doing adventurous things.

I'm definitely a Queen supporter. She was great.

Adventuring can be for the ordinary person with ordinary qualities, such as I regard myself.

I don't know if I particularly want to be remembered for anything. I personally do not think I'm a great gift to the world. I've been very fortunate.

My most important projects have been the building and maintaining of schools and medical clinics for my dear friends in the Himalaya and helping restore their beautiful monasteries, too.

Challenge is what makes men. It will be the end when men stop looking for new challenges.
