So many people condemn me for risk taking, but I find it sort of hypocritical because everybody takes risks. Even the absence of activity could be viewed as a risk. If you sit on the sofa for your entire life, you're running a higher risk of getting heart disease and cancer.

I'm not harmful, just introspective. You can probably think I'm weird, but it's not harmful weird.

Personally, I've never been attracted to danger. It's not my sort of thing. I am more attracted to pubs and cafes. The known, safe and comfortable world.

I have a perverse attraction to risk. Not physical risk but emotional, financial risk - anything than can't kill you immediately.

Is there anything more dangerous than sympathetic understanding?

In this situation I was constantly exposed to danger and death.

Funnily enough, the most danger I felt was when I did a story about exotic animals kept as pets in America.

The reason we're so dangerous is because we're totally harmless.

It was never physically dangerous except when I nearly fell off a horse, but it was physically arduous - especially when you were working late at night.

I think I'm just more adaptable now, so danger, overall, seems less dangerous to me.
