Climbs like the Dawn Wall don't come around every day.
I'm like the Ben Affleck of crowd surfing.
The Dawn Wall is so obviously the hardest big-wall climb in the world, so that was the challenge.
I've never been more terrified than when I learned how to paramotor. They attached this machine to my back, as if I was a stuntman in a James Bond movie, and I had to fly over all these trees and patches of concrete in Cirencester.
This forms the nub of a dilemna that every Everest climber eventually comes up against: in order to succeed you must be exceedingly driven, but if you're too driven you're likely to die.
What makes climbing great for me, strangely enough, is this life-and-death aspect. It sounds trite to say, I know, but climbing isn't just another game. It isn't just another sport. It's life itself. Which is what makes it so compelling and also what makes it so impossible to justify when things go bad.
Snowboarding is like driving a car. When things are all right, you're on it. But when things go wrong, it goes really, really bad really fast.
Kite surfing is a great way of keeping fit. Kiting is great because you're bouncing over the waves and you're surfing the waves. I do quite long kite surfs-50 miles in a day.
From the beginning when you go into this sport, you know how dangerous it is. It will never be a safe sport.
I think it's possible to climb the Dawn Wall in a single day. No matter what, it would be really, really hard.
It will always remain a dangerous sport.
Formula One was a very dangerous sport. It still is dangerous. But the danger factor is also the exciting part.
This is a crazy sport.
One thing I thought of, I call it By Sea, By Land, By Foot. It'd be a 100-mile paddle, a 100-mile run, and a 100-mile bike, back-to-back-to-back. But I don't want to end up in the hospital.
Movie-making is an extreme sport on many levels. It requires stamina such as I had never imagined.
I jumped between two seven-story buildings in Los Angeles, launching from one rooftop to the other with ramps.
This sport's crazy.
Skydiving is something I've never done! And I am very excited to take the leap with a community of like-minded courageous women.
It's a dangerous sport - we all know that going in.
It's always in the back of your head that this is a crazy sport.
I base jumped off one of the highest buildings in the world.
Kitesurfing is one of the greatest sports in the world. I highly recommend this to anyone who has access to the ocean. There is nothing more freeing than being out there and kitesurfing. When my schedule permits, it's the first thing I do in the morning, before I have breakfast. Tennis is also fun, especially against someone far better at the sport than I am.
Hockey is the original extreme sport.
On a beautiful clear Sunday morning, myself and James Nesbitt jumped out of a plane together at 18,000 feet.
I know it is a dangerous sport but this is something I like.
