I prefer cash but so many places only take cards these days, it forces you down a line and I don't like that.

If you constantly dwell on the past that's where you end up living.

I've always been very hopeful but I also know that as long as you've got a good work ethic, almost anything is achievable and I learned that in the armed forces.

I like to live life in an understated way because that's who I am - an ordinary guy who has experienced an extraordinary journey.
