Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying.

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.

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.

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.

Nothing is as important as your calling and purpose in life.

I come from strong people who believe in the freedom of expression and, of course, a culture that believes in that. So the idea of overcoming adversity is something that is not unfamiliar.

I used to joke I was a point-and-click actor. My whole process has been about trusting your instincts and hitting your mark.

Beginnings are always hard.

Move it along, teenagers. The only person who gets to canoodle in my bedroom is my magnificent self.

When I was about 19, my stepmother said - because this was back in the 80s - that I had Robert Wagners pompadour. I said, What are you talking about? You mean the guy from Hart to Hart?

It was good and nothing good is ever lost.

I've always felt very comfortable with accents. Once I get an accent, I can do it, and that's just something I've been able to do my whole life.

Our most important legacy will be the contributions we make to the lives of other human beings.

How could I, blest with thee, long nights employ; And how with the longest day enjoy!
