“My mantra is: Realize you're going to fail all the time, and accept it...” — Mark Burnett Quote

My mantra is: Realize you're going to fail all the time, and accept it. That doesn't mean I'm not frightened of it.

I'm not at all overextended... I'm very, very hands-on.

When I see someone in a military uniform I make it a point to approach them, shake their hand and say five words... 'thank you for your service.' 'Stars Earn Stripes' is a high energy, fun, action show, but at its heart it is all about those five words.

So many people wanted an adventure. It was really more about finding the cast that I wanted for 'Expedition Impossible,' so it had good diversity, and people could really say, 'Oh, there's the firefighters, there's the team of cops, there's the grandpa' - so that you can really relate with them.

This is a tough game. You can't be intimidated. You can't be frightened. And as far as I'm concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell.

You can get the best out of people if they're happy and not worried or not frightened that they're going to make a mistake.

I like people that are not frightened to say what they think.

I was 7 or 8, and my parents gave me a rod and reel as a way to get me out of the house. My first fish was a roach fish, and I remember being frightened to touch it. It was wriggling and cold blooded, but it was magical.

Everything scares me. I'm very easily frightened. But the thing that scares me most is zombies. I really, really don't like zombies.
