“Everything starts with fishermen's tales. Everywhere you go the fisher...” — Jeremy Wade Quote

Everything starts with fishermen's tales. Everywhere you go the fishermen talk.

I've become an accidental anthropologist.

The way that we live with potentially dangerous animals is not to kill them, but to understand them and to coexist with them.

The arapaima, found in South America, has an elongated body and a head so bony that the male fish will sometimes kill each other with a nifty headbutt. It's believed to be the biggest freshwater fish in the world.

My background is getting into the kinds of places where outsiders don't normally go, with enough energy left to put a line in the water.

Fairy tales read before bed tend to make me dream. They're all quite violent stories, as are my dreams.

Dead men tell no tales.

If you read Grimm's fairy tales, they're absolutely terrifying.

I firmly believe in real-life fairy tales.

I love fairy tales because I think that behind fairy tales, there is always a meaning.
