I'm ambitious and I'm determined and I know where I'm going to be. It's not where I want to be, but where I'm going to be.

I think the only thing I knew for sure is that I wanted to, whatever I did, I wanted to travel with my work, an adventurous spirit.

I wanted to acquire an education, work extremely hard and never deviate from my goal, to make it.

Thankfully I'm not endlessly ambitious, but I have done some crazy ambitious things like buying an island off the west coast of Scotland in the late Sixties.

I spent the first 25 years of my life not knowing what I wanted to do.

I wanted to be an explorer, but gradually found the world had been explored and that there was nowhere left, really. Once they climbed Everest in 1953, when I was 10 years old, I thought, 'Well, that's pretty much it now.' But the idea of travelling and exploring and adventure was very strong.

I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want.

I wanted to be a lot of things in my life.

So, I decided that whatever I was, wanted to do with my life, it would have to do, it would have to have something to do with the exploration and doing new things.
