Some people revel in taking risks, and some go through life taking no risks at all.

I work on the motto that if something's not impossible, there must be a way to do it.

I respond very easily to outside events. One's life is a matter of chance. Nothing that you've arranged for yourself works out.

Everyone thinks my story should be marked by heroism, but there was no risk to myself. You see, no-one in Prague at that time thought they were going to be at war with England.

It gets a bit boring talking about the same thing for a hundred years.

I wasn't heroic because I was never in danger.
