I've seen extreme bravery from the least likely of people. Life is about the moments when it's all gone wrong. That's when we define ourselves.

I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.

The rules of survival never change, whether you're in a desert or in an arena.

If you risk nothing you gain nothing

Is your ego small enough, and your backbone strong enough, to raise others up high on your shoulders?

Sometimes an ember is all we need.

You don't need to go to the ends of the earth, you don't need to climb Everest to have a great adventure, it's invariably on our doorstep.

A wise man knows; learn from others, never get complacent and know where the classic old dangers come from.

Live a wild, generous full, exciting life – blessing those around you and seeing the good in all.

There is no feeling like coming home after danger.

You can't become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times. There's life in a nutshell.

Whatever you focus your mind on, you will consciously and subconsciously work towards.

Lord I thank you for the timely provisions

Whatever will be, will be.

Work is the greatest thing in the world, so we should always save some of it for tomorrow.

He that hath but one eye, must bee afraid to lose it. [He that hath but one eye must be afraid to lose it.]

Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.

Truth itself is something you live, not something you think.

I prefer to think of the audience as a single living organism with which I am sharing a singular, never-to-be-repeated experience.

Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.

I think part of a hero construct is overcoming loss, or being abandoned, or having to make your own way in the world.
