I love underdogs, people who have achieved extraordinary things against the odds.

With any good story, you need the adversary, the heroes and villains. You need a good mixture to make it work.

I've always been about setting goals. Then when I had a near death experience at nineteen, it made it even more important to strive to achieve certain things.

I love the underdog stories. I love people who refuse to give up.

A good storyteller can hold everybody captive without the special effects of Hollywood.

I'm a big fan of human dynamics. Nothing fascinates me more than really interesting people and human dynamics.

I'd always felt like I was going to take part in adventures in my life. That's what led me to diving in the shipwreck to begin with. But when you're faced with your own demise, you have to accept that you are vulnerable and that you are only here for a set period of time.
