Quote

Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying.

Textbook survival tells you to stay put. Stop. Wait for rescue. Don't take any risks. But there'd been a whole host of survival shows like that and I didn't really want to do that.

I've thought a lot about how if something horrible happened, and if it were like 'The Road' situation, I've decided I don't want to survive past the death of society as we know it.

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

I'm a survivalist and a survivor.

I'm a survivor - a living example of what people can go through and survive.

Oh, I'm a survivor. My whole life has been surviving.

No day-to-day mishaps or indignities can really compromise your sense of self after you've survived a deep tragedy.

I've always believed in survival.

I'm not the kind of person to sit and dwell for ages on something that happened. I go through something, I experience it, I try to learn from it, and I move forward.
