People who can pull you in and take you on a journey, as opposed to simply adding flash. Again, that feels very clinical, and I don't respond to that the way I used to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's not a lot of flash about me.
There are people who travel because they want to push themselves to physical limits, people who walk across deserts or cycle across the Antarctic - like Ranulph Fiennes, who just does it because it's there. And then there are people like me, who are just genuinely curious about the world.
People say I'm deceptively unassuming, but that's the way I go through life. I'm not flash. You can make it sound calculated, but it's pretty much just me.
I was trying for years to woo people through humour, but it seems flash cars are much easier.
The travel impulse is mental and physical curiosity. It's a passion. And I can't understand people who don't want to travel.
I have a following, but it's small. I have this level of fame where people spot me in the airport, consistently, but they always think they're the only one who ever has. People will think they win a prize when they recognize me.
I can't deal with someone flashy. That's so not me.
I take real people and put them in extraordinary situations.
It's that anonymous person who meanders through the streets and feels what's happening there, feels the pulse of the people, who's able to create.
I've been called the journeyman. It's really more by default than it is by design.
