‘Playing different characters in different films helps keep you excited about what you do. It always seems like a whole new adventure.’ – Abbie Cornish

‘One person may need (or want) more leisure, another more work; one more adventure, another more security, and so on.

‘In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research. It’s a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible.

This gives everyone a chance to make their characters their own and to make them believable.’ – Joanne Froggatt

‘I’ve done a show at the Largo Theater called The ‘Thrilling Adventure Hour.’ We read, like, radio teleplays. It’s a send-up of radio dramas from the ’30s and ’40s. We just did a Kickstarter for that so that we can do a web series and a concert film.’ – Paget Brewster

‘As one of the first editors at ‘Outside’ magazine in 1975, it was my contention that most American writing going back to James Fennimore Cooper and then through Twain up to Hemingway had been outdoor writing.

‘Adventure travel existed before I started, I just didn’t know it.’ – Tim Cahill

‘These days young kids don’t have any place to form an epic adventure. It’s more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That’s very hard on them. They’re being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It’s so sad.’ – John Lydon

‘I’ve always walked around with the sense that the world is not a safe place. I didn’t get the spontaneous gene or the adventure one, really.

‘Everything about ‘Adventure Time’ is the purest form of kid’s play. A kid does not live in the Land of Ooo. That is one of the wonderful things about the show; it doesn’t pretend to be real. That was the great thing about ‘Pee Wee’s Playhouse’; it existed in a world completely outside any reality a kid recognized.’ – Fred Seibert

‘Life experience is what defines our character, even if it means getting your heart broken or being lied to. You know, you need the downs to appreciate the ups. Going on the adventure or taking that risk is important.’ – Nev Schulman

‘As a young boy, I was very interested – as I still am – in all sorts of adventure and exploration. I thought about being an astronaut, a dinosaur scientist, or marine biologist, but I clearly was drawn to the ocean and to the water.’ – Brian Skerry

‘I’ve actually done a lot of on-screen, live-action stuff prior to ‘Adventure Time.” – Jeremy Shada

‘I was a crazy Pee-wee Herman fan when I was in my early teens. Before he had the kids’ TV show, he had a nightclub show in L.A., and I had gotten a VHS copy of it. It was a kids’ show, but onstage in a bar, so it’s sort of poking fun at the kids’ show. And I was obsessed with that, and then ‘Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.” – Dallas Roberts

”Pair of Kings’ is so much fun, literally. It is a very physical show with loads of stunts and green screen work, and you never know what great adventure is ahead of you! It’s also a nice change in terms of being of similar ages to Doc Shaw and Mitchel Musso.’ – Kelsey Chow

‘Older men are wiser and that is much cooler to me. I’ve never been one for going out clubbing or getting off my head, so I always gravitated to men who were similar. They just tended to be older. I think you have more of an adventure with an older man. And a happier journey.’ – Emilia Fox

‘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.’ – Julia Sawalha

Every film that you go see from Pixar, we’re hoping is a little bit of a surprise.’ – Pete Docter

”Botanicula’ tells the story of a group of twigs, nuts, and leaves trying to escape with the life essence of a tree in tow before nasties from another world destroy them and everything else in their path.

‘I decided to take my foot off the pedal with all the detail. I’m sure after ‘Animalia’ and ‘The Eleventh Hour,’ readers thought that’s what to expect from Graeme Base.

‘Moving is easy, exciting, an adventure – when you’re young. Later, not so much. I love Massachusetts, my old home. Sometimes, late at night, I even study the real estate ads in my old hometown.

‘In Ronald Reagan’s chaotic childhood, the imagination was armor. There is nothing unusual about that; transcending the doubts, hesitations, and fears swirling around you by casting yourself internally as the hero of your own adventure story is a characteristic psychic defense mechanism of the Boy Who Disappears.’ – Rick Perlstein

‘Anything new is a sort of adventure – as a child, I think I was quite bad at tackling new experiences, like unusual foods, and I hated new clothes or having my hair cut.’ – Mini Grey

‘What I’d love to do would be to bring a person from the past to me. In that case I’d pick Jane Austen, because I’d like to know what really made her tick.

‘To all my soap fans out there, my horror fanatics, comedy lovers, I will tell you this: ‘Death Valley’ is an action-packed drama, comedic, horror TV series that has a non-stop adventure in each episode.

‘I know what it feels like to be bullied, and I will not tolerate the thought of anyone, for any reason, being bullied. It starts with young people and can end with young people.

She even rescues the prince. And that makes her a rare fish, indeed, in the world of preschool culture.’ – Katha Pollitt

‘A romance is a courtship story. In the 19th century, the definition of the romance genre was an escape from daily life that included adventure and love and battle. But in the 20th century, that term changed, and now it’s deemed only a love story, specifically a courtship story.’ – Diana Gabaldon

‘I inhaled books. I loved Classics Illustrated comic books.

‘I’ve just had this idea pop in my head of trying to learn a new song every da, and try and play it that night. That’s been fun for me because it’s a little bit of a scary adventure, playing a song for the first time in front of people and letting it just be what it is.’ – Jim James

I knew everything, even how to make a shoe sole.’ – Lothar Matthaus
