Where we really effect change, in terms of creating a passionate work force, is by listening to kids early.

We have a gift of life. What we do with that gift is dependent on the choices we make. The people who we spend time with. The things that we go out to do every day.

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.

We need diversity in our population to make it work.

When I hear people watched my film and then got on their own bikes and rode, whether a few miles or across America, to achieve their own goals - that excites me. It's the power of a story.

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.
