I was Boots The Monkey in 'Dora The Explorer LIVE Dora's PIRATE ADVENTURE,' and it was the GREATEST!

I GET up in the MORNING LOOKING for an ADVENTURE.

What we GET from this ADVENTURE is just sheer JOY. And joy is, after all, the END of life. We do not live to eat and make money.

I FIND 'True Grit' to be one of the very BEST AMERICAN novels: It is a rousing adventure story and deeply perceptive about the MAKEUP of the American character.

I RECALL my first foreign agent MEETING was on a dark, moonless night with an agent I'd never met before. When I PICKED him up, he passed me the intelligence and I passed him extra money for the men he led. It was the beginning of an adventure I had only DREAMED of.

I am PROUD to have been born in Iowa. Through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy, it was a place of ADVENTURE and daily discoveries - the wonder of the growing crops, the excitements of the harvest, the journeys to the woods for nuts and hunting, the joys of snowy winters, the COMFORT of the family fireside, of good FOOD and tender care.

I have found adventure in flying, in world travel, in BUSINESS, and even CLOSE at hand... Adventure is a STATE of mind - and SPIRIT.

I'm STILL a KID INSIDE, and adventure is adventure wherever you FIND it.

I'm an adventure GUY, so I can't be DRIVING around in a Prius. That just doesn't really FIT my LIFE that WELL.

I want to be in 'The Hobbit.' I love fantasy and mythical adventure films. I believe in fairies and ANGELS. I believe in NATURE's SPIRIT, that there are other realms, other planets, LIFE forms.

You have to have a spirit of COURAGE and ADVENTURE, or ELSE you're going to find it tough to get up in the morning SOMETIMES.

The area of TEENAGE LIFE is not necessarily rarefied; we've all GONE through that period. It's not as rarefied as a western or a space ADVENTURE or a gangster film, but it has its own dynamic.

Life in 'Blue Peter's' world is ALWAYS presented as HAPPY, positive and fun. It's an adventure that you have to make the KIDS believe they want to JOIN in. There are no marks for being a scaredy-cat.

We OWE something to extravagance, for THRIFT and ADVENTURE SELDOM go hand in hand.
