A lot of the qualities in 'Killing and Dying' is sort of a response to work I'd done previously. I wanted to push myself in some different directions.

I realised I could run after finding out that my dad used to run and it gave me the morale that if he did it then maybe I could also run.

I've always been that way where, if something doesn't work out the first time, I won't try to beat a dead horse.

Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.

Death became a desired option. I hoped I would hit a mine or run into an ambush and just end it all. I think some part of me wanted to join the legions of the dead, whom I had failed.

I want to run with the best, that's how I've always lived.

I've been running from, and toward, death all my life, more aware of it than a person should be.

Running gives you a great opportunity to work stuff out in your head.

We live by encouragement and die without it - slowly, sadly and angrily.

I was always fiercely determined and driven to succeed.
