One has to take a somewhat bold and dangerous line with this existence: especially as, whatever happens, we are bound to lose it.
When the crowd appreciates you, it encourages you to be a little more daring, I think.
I act irrationally, I defy the odds, I engage when others would run. I look for trouble, I seek chaos, it is a burden.
I'm kind of a challenge junkie, I think.
My number one rule is to keep that camera rolling. Even if it's shaky or slightly out of focus, I don't give a rip. Even if a big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, 'Crikey!' just before I die. That would be the ultimate for me.
He who fears dangers will not perish by them.
I've never played the jack-it-up kinda game; that's just not who I am.
I have a black belt in chutzpah. I was born with it. Some people, like some of the women I know, have a black belt in spending. They were born with that. But what they gave me was a black belt in chutzpah.
Men are eager to tread underfoot what they have once too much feared.
The sooner you start being fearless, the better.
All his life he [the American] jumps into the train after it has started and jumps out before it has stopped; and he never once gets left behind, or breaks a leg.
I'm not the guy who's afraid of failure. I like to take risks, take the big shot and all that.
The world is not for cowardly peoples.
I have no brakes on...analysis is for those who are paralyzed by life.
I'm a bold man. I throw caution to the wind.
Be brave, be bold, be free.
I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.
[Courage] always bigger than what you think you can handle, but you're never going to be given something you can't handle. So you say, "Okay, when you tell me what it is that I'm supposed to do, please give me the courage to do it."
It is not a question of living dangerously. That formula is too arrogant, too presumptuous. I don't care much for bull-fighters. It's not the danger I love. I know what I love. It is life itself.
You have to be in good shape, basically. And then, you have to have a certain craziness, if you're going to do some of the action things.
If there is one thing upon this earth that mankind love and admire better than another, it is a brave man, - it is the man who dares to look the devil in the face and tell him he is a devil.
I urge you to be as impudent as you dare. BE BOLD, BE BOLD, BE BOLD.
For good or for bad, I'm a risk taker. I like high-stakes, high-reward type situations.
Fearlessness may be a gift, but perhaps most precious is courage from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions.
I'll always push the envelope. To me, the ultimate sin in life is to be boring. I don't play it safe.
