honesty kindness adventure
My parents taught me honesty, truth, compassion, kindness and how to care for people. Also, they encouraged me to take risks, to boldly go. They taught me that the greatest danger in life is not taking the adventure.
adventure cities space
I've completed half of my space training at Space City in Moscow. I love adventure, and I've been training in a centrifuge and MiG Fighter with a view to going into space and being a spokesman for space exploration!
adventure space volcanoes
I'll never retire. The new millennium is the age of adventure as far as I am concerned. I'm going up a volcano and off into space.
adventure thinking danger-in-life
You can't call it an adventure unless it's tinged with danger. The greatest danger in life, though, is not taking the adventure at all. To have the objective of a life of ease is death. I think we've all got to go after our own Everest.
people hated spoilt
I've always hated it when people overspend, are spoilt or throw their money away.
animal awful bloody
I do everything I can for wild animals because they have such a bloody awful time.
winning ninety-nine making-money
Ninety nine per cent of the time, for anyone who wins or makes money, it makes them happy.
dad team believe
My dad was opening fast bowler for Yorkshire's second team and I couldn't believe he could die. He wasn't going to get better for at least six months, so I left school early to become the family breadwinner.
drama school assistants
I went to drama school but it was very hard to get work until I was made assistant stage manager.
theatre shirts stores
We had a food store at the theatre and I used to pinch food. I pinched some trousers and shirts to keep me going but they would wear out. I was virtually on the breadline.
dream country people
My dream is to own a Hockney - I'm a Yorkshireman, and his vibrant colours are a good example of how the north-country people are vibrant and colourful.
dad kids drawing
I met Picasso when I was a kid. I turned one of his drawings down which would be worth £37 million now. My dad wouldn't talk to me for a fortnight.
quiet loud pensive
The misapprehension about me is that I am some loud, rampant maniac. I am actually very pensive and quiet.
downing-street alive saws
When I was in Downing Street, David Cameron saw me and said, "Please, shout it all around and let it penetrate to my cabinet meeting." So I bellowed: "Gordon's alive!"
