In Botswana in the Kalahari Desert there's a tented camp called Jack's Camp, which is like old Africa meets Ralph Lauren. The Oriental rugs, the old leather chairs - you feel like you've just jumped out of a Ralph Lauren ad.

Facing your fears robs them of their power.

You've heard the saying, 'Analysis creates paralysis.' You can't be 100 percent sure of anything.

I found a nanny/child care position in Beverly Hills taking care of a 3-year-old and a 17-year-old. They had a large, wealthy house. I learned that I liked the way rich people lived. I learned that they were not smarter than me.
Mark Burnett
There's no reason the story of Christianity wouldn't be more prevalent in film and television considering the audience size who love and believe the stories. This is a broad audience and deserves to be on broadcast TV.
Mark Burnett
You can't just decide to take the subject matter of The Bible and figure out you can just change what you want. I mean, the audience knows, and if you give them a Biblical story, you better get it right.
Mark Burnett
Singing shows are fun. Every viewer has their own opinion. We all know whether we think a voice sounds good or not. There's a play-along element. All these shows can be supported.

Bug eating and backstabbing are the stuff of great entertainment.

There's nothing like biting off more than you can chew, and then chewing anyway.

'Survivor' wouldn't have happened had I not gone out there and helped CBS to sell sponsors to finance the first one. Part of my thinking on 'Survivor' was that it should have rewards that are corporate brands. A Big Mac, one thimble-full of Coca-Cola.
Mark Burnett
He [Peter Pan] is a metaphor for dreams and faith.
Mark Burnett
Whether it is the cavemen in the caves thousands of years ago, Shakespeare plays, television, movies and books, stories and characters take us on a journey. All I do is tell those stories without scripts and without actors.
Mark Burnett
One of the greatest freedoms of living in America is being able to ask the question: If I could do anything I wanted with my life - money being no object - what would I do? In many parts of the world, people don't have the luxury of asking that question.
Mark Burnett
I will guarantee you that the day you step outside your comfort zone by making success your goal is the day you discover that adversity, risk, and daring will make life sweeter than you ever imagined.
Mark Burnett
I needed to be in the bush. There I find solitude and beauty and purity and focus. That's where my heart lies.
Mark Burnett
You have to treat every hour of television you're given like a $100 million movie, and with 'A.D.,' we stepped it up even a stage further.
Mark Burnett
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.
Mark Burnett
America is the most giving nation on Earth. One of the best ways to feel better is by doing something for somebody else.

The way I see it, more people are wired with broadband from 9 to 5 during the day than watch TV at night. So therefore isn't the real prime time 9 to 5? Playing games at your desk - that's the new prime time, isn't it?
Mark Burnett
I've always liked adventure television. Pre-'Survivor,' I did a series on cable called 'Eco-Challenge,' an adventure race with experts mainly, and here we have 'Expedition Impossible.' I like the outdoors and I like doing something fresh for television you haven't seen before.

The world is changing, and the Internet is about to become the next broadcast network.
