You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'

There were certainly things I was scared to do, but I never thought I wasn't up for the challenge.

Sometimes doors open and other close and you have to figure out which one you're going to take. I'm always for the one that's challenging. That's where I think you live your life to the fullest.

I don't fear challenge.

Without risk you can't experience life. There have to be risks, physically and mentally, taken by everyone.

It's the uncertainty, the challenge and the willingness to put it all on the line that draws a lot of people to climb mountains.

I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm damn well gonna do it!

Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition - in having put forth the best within you.

Whatever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things.
