Just to stir things up seemed a great reward in itself.
A huge part of youth is how you behave: I'm always looking for fun and anything that makes me feel alive - that in itself keeps me feeling young.
I take risks because I get bored. And I get bored very easily.
The fact is that I like thrillers and action movies. But what really fulfills me is getting out of my comfort zone, taking chances.
I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.
I'm not an adrenaline junkie. It's never been about thrills for me. I'm just someone who loves a challenge.
We are created for adventure, and if we cannot find one, we start blowing things out of proportion so it feels like we have one.
I do a lot of TV stuff, but I also turn a lot down - it's got to be an adventure.
It seems like people have to get their thrills somehow.
I don't know what makes me me. Sometimes it's really annoying to be me, but I have always had a spirit that wants to find a challenge, parties, the life, the attention, where the most energy is - I'm going in.
My nature is that I have to excite myself with a big challenge.
And you know what people immediately start looking for, five minutes after they arrive someplace new? You know what's on their minds? I'll tell you: How are they gonna get laid, and where are they gonna find some mind-altering substances.
To all those who lead monotonous lives in the hope that they may experience at second hand the delights and dangers of adventure. [author's dedication]
Why get up in the morning unless you’re going to have an adventure?
Sometimes we just walk into something that is not for us at all. We pretend it is. We think we can shrug it off like a coat, but it's not a coat at all, it's more like another skin. [...] All I wanted was to make my life thrilling for a while: to take the oridinary objects of my days and make a different argument out of them, no obligations to my past.
I crave attention and adventure.
I lived in a tiny Midwest town, so I was always looking for adventure.
Bored people looked for drama and caused trouble.
I think for me the final push to move to Paris was the fact I wanted an adventure and I was slightly bored of my life in London.
At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.
Oh, how desperately bored, in spite of their grim determination to have a Good Time, the majority of pleasure-seekers really are!
What is life unless you're having a good time? I don't really have a plan; I just try to dip my toes in different ponds.
I think I always wanted to have adventures in my life. I was always kind of a rambunctious kid.
I'm not a hang-out-on-the-beach type of girl.
I decided to follow my dreams and my passions and to always have an adventure, no matter what it is.
