I always wanted to be Robin Hood or John the Baptist when I was growing up.

To me, adventure has always been to me the connections and bounds you create with people when you're there. And you can have that anywhere.

Adventure should be 80 percent 'I think this is manageable,' but it's good to have that last 20 percent where you're right outside your comfort zone. Still safe, but outside your comfort zone.

I said 'no' to the 'Born Survivor' producer three times because I've never aspired to be a TV man.

In my life, my religion comes first, and obviously, my family comes second.

My home and my upbringing and just the problems in my family within my extended family were such that it truly was a mix of the good, bad, and the ugly.

Reality television - it's your life, and you can't walk away from it. You're being exposed, and the audience is weighing in on your lives and your relationships with your friends and family.

In 'Hardflip,' you have a relationship where the father and son haven't seen each other in 18 years, but they find they're very alike: pigheaded, stubborn, passionate. It's a wonderful story of how you can't get away from how similar you and your children are.
