I left home when I was 16 because I was looking for adventure.

I had a very happy childhood, but I still used my imagination as a leisure resort.

I'm still a kid inside, and adventure is adventure wherever you find it.

I started running away when I was five years old. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized what I really wanted was somebody to come after me when I was running away.

I hang out all the time with kids and young scouts and I never meet kids who don't want adventure.

I went to a number of foreign countries, and during whenever I went, I would try to go to an orphanage or a home for children. And I was seeing thousands of kids around the world that needed homes.

I was an only child until I was 14, and there were no other kids around the area really. So I spent a lot of time on my own in the fields or by the lake, with just my imagination for company. I suppose I never wanted to let that part of me go.

I went to Alaska as a young man just looking for adventure. And like so many of us in the '70s, we found it.

For about two years, I was a little wild. I was out partying, having adventures.

I ran around with the other youngsters, hunting, fishing and raising tadpoles and all the rest.
