  1. “Something that sounds halfway decent. So I really do believe in the idea of perseverance. And I feel that a lot of people stop short at achieving goals because they're not prepared to risk failure. We analyze failure, particularly as we get older more and more. So I always try to encourage that with my daughter too, say to her, give it a go. Just give it a go and see what happens. You never know what's going to take you and what you learn and what you fail at may help you with something else you may not understand how they're related now, but five years from now, you're going to draw on that. It's about life experience and just putting your hand up and saying, yeah, I'll give it a go. And that's definitely something that is a New Zealand trait. Yeah, yeah, I'll give it a go. Fake it until you make it. I mean, that's a huge part of.”

  2. “Yeah, my dad and dad traveled all over the world, lived four years in Canada, eight years in the Caribbean. We lived in South America through the Caribbean, lived in Australia. And I went to this school, and I was probably the worst musician out of all of these really talented kids, strong enough to get into the school, but certainly not the best. And I remember being surrounded by this most extraordinary talent, some of the talent that has gone into play in the New York Philharmonic. A big part of playing the violin and being successful, particularly at that age, was just practice and practice and practice. I remember how hideous and horrible I sounded, you know, starting with some new pieces early on. But you'd play and play over and over and over and over again. You could say that the first performances that I made were a failure. And then with all of the work and the effort, you end up with...”

  3. “I've tried to put together early on in my career, tried to put together show ideas that I thought would really work and they just didn't really work. But it was all the groundwork to be better the next time I tried to get something to work. And I've been involved with a lot of things that are pretty mediocre. But again, I really do believe in trying and trying and trying again. You know, when I was young, I learned how to play the violin when I was three years old with the Suzuki method, which was learning where you would be in a room with a whole bunch of people and you would play tunes over and over and over again. And then eventually I could play by ear. And when I was seven or eight, my mom's a music teacher. I learned how to read music. And I became quite proficient at playing the violin. I used to go to a music school.”

  4. “Based on what it compare to, what can we compare it to? Will it work? There's a fixation on this idea of failure. I find people talk a lot about things failing in a negative way. I've failed so many times at so many things, but I try not to call them failures as much as I just call them giving it a go. And if there's one thing that I have that I love about positive people is that they are prepared to give it a go. Positive people just are constantly putting themselves out there to fall on their face and eventually they stumble on something that works.”

  5. “Yeah, no, I've never had low expectations. I've always had this desire to do new and different. If there's one thing that I would like to be known for, it's that I'm prepared to try something new and different. I like to be surrounded by people who see again what they do have and what they can do as opposed to what they don't have and what they can't do. So nothing drives me crazier than being surrounded by people who immediately start with a wool of no or immediately start with not having the vision to see that the impossible can happen. And I've been lucky enough to be around people who have achieved extraordinary things and it feeds me Malcolm Bladwell says anything new and different is most susceptible to market research. And I really feel that so many people apply potential and possibility.”

  6. “In general, I love you guys, Canadians. I think we're probably more Canadian friends. I think New Zealand is a probably more sensitive about it. I think Australians, they probably care less than we do.”

  7. “New Zealand is the last habitable landmass on Earth to be populated. We offered a lot of land incentives to the Irish, English, and the Scots. A lot of Dutch came over in the 50s. We're a very young country, like super young country. And in 1880, if I'm not mistaken, the population was something like 80% men in New Zealand, which is where all that mate ship came from. Probably a few sheep jokes as well. But, you know, we're super young country. Now Australia had a tremendous number of criminals go there because England didn't want him, you know. It's the English for you Oh, let's send them way down there to that penile colony down in Australia. That'll fix them. So they sent them down there. They're a rugged bunch. But don't ever confuse New Zealanders and Australians. We don't like that. Don't like that”

  8. “But we have this, look, I think there's something like a half a million New Zealanders living in Australia. It's like a huge portion of the New Zealand population live in Australia. I mean, but now a lot of Australians are wanting to come to New Zealand because our economy is doing okay. Yeah.”

We're up there as well. But I'm saying the Australians, it's a great rivalry, let's just say that. And I married an Australian, by the way.”

  10. “There's a lot of, like, the cricket matches, they call it sledging, you know, where the Australian cricket team are out there on the pitch in the middle of the pitch, and they'll be just going at the opposition to talk them, psych them out, basically. They have that edge about them.”

  11. “But I've been to rugby matches in Australia where you stand up in your chair and if there's an Aussie behind you and they know you're supporting the old black cell, pour some beer down the back of your chair. And listen, it's a healthy rivalry, I think. It's just that the Australians, the Australians to me are closer to the American culture in terms of their sports psyche. They are really good at sport. You want to talk about believing in winning. Australians really, I think, exemplify that. New Zealanders, I think, less so. Again, I think New Zealanders, they want to come in under the radar and then exceed expectations. So they don't tend to use the”

We've always felt like they're the big brother that wants to beat us up, but we're going to prove ourselves to the big brother. So yes, any sheep joke, we don't need to go into the details. Yeah, just come on.”

  16. “Incredibly resourceful and inventive. We've invented a lot of amazing things. And we find ways of doing things in new and different ways because we're kind of forced to think. And I love that about our culture. But sometimes when we come to an environment like in America, we're a little reluctant to put our hand up and go, I got this. And other people who sometimes make a lot of noise maybe don't have the same skills, but they're much better at making a lot of noise.”

  17. “Exactly, whereas if people's expectations are, oh, we think Phil will do a good job and should be good. If their expectations are there, then I love that space that's left for me to go punch above that and go hit it out of the park, right? Because there's nothing better when you exceed people's expectations. So I think New Zealanders, they always try to underplay where they're at so that they can exceed expectations. What you find with a lot of New Zealanders is incredibly hardworking. They'll tend to undersell themselves and they tend to surprise. They tend to come out of nowhere and just like, I had no idea you could do that. And so I've just finished working on a project for the Smithsonian channel where I talk to a bunch of New Zealanders about inventiveness because if there's one word I would use to describe what kiwis are, they're...”

When everybody's expectation of my speeches that it's going to be, you know, I'm going to head it out of the park and it's going to be really great. It makes me nervous because I feel like, okay, so you feel like I'm meant to hit this mark. Where do I go from there? I don't know where to go from there. I have to like hit it out of the park twice. I don't know. What do I do?”

  19. “You're the best. An old black or New Zealander who's a high achiever will tend to undersell and go odd. You know, it was really nothing we would just, you know, we just went in and did our thing and we just happened to beat the other team, but they played really well the other team. Yeah, but you beat them 85-0. Well, yeah, no, but, you know, we just had a good day. And now, you know, hats off to the other team. And that's what you do. You undersell. And then it's part of our psyche to be just like everybody. Now, it's hugely endearing in one way because New Zealanders, and I feel like I'm one of these people where I perform better when the expectations from me are lower.”

  20. “Just Google that. Just go New Zealand All Black Rugby Team Haka. H-A-K-A, it's a Maori name, which is a M ⁇ ori war dance. And now a lot of American football teams have actually copied it as a way of getting psyched up. But when the Indigenous people of New Zealand, the Maori people, before going to war, they would get themselves psyched up doing this hacker. And it involves a lot of different moves and slapping themselves and basically getting themselves hype and ready to go. And now we use it as a way to get hype for it before our rugby games. And if you see this, it's pretty powerful. So the All Blacks have a winning percentage, I think, of over 75% in the last 100 years, right? Very rarely do we lose. But if you speak to any of them, and they've been the world champion, the only rugby team in the world to be world champions three times, only rugby team in the world to win back-to-back championships, if you talk to an old black and you go, wow, you guys are amazing. You get incredible players.”

  21. “It's part of our psyche to keep everybody like the common man. So the New Zealand rugby team, they're called the All Blacks. We wear an all-black uniform. We have a silver fern on the uniform. The most successful sports team in sports history.”

  22. “Oh, that's one of my favorite topics of conversation. If you imagine a field full of poppies, they're all beautifully uniformed and all the poppies in the field are at the same exact height and you look out and it's so comfortable to look at because every single poppy is within a millimeter of each other and it just looks so lovely and uniformed. And then you cash your eye over to the other side of the field and you see, oh my goodness, there's a poppy sticking up, and it's taller than all the other poppies. What could that possibly be? Oh, that's some guy showing off. He thinks he's better than all the other poppies in the field, and he's sticking up there showing off. Well, we'll fix that. Get a pair of scissors and you cut that tall poppy down, and now everything's beautiful and uniformed again, and we don't have to worry about that tall poppy, do we?”

  23. “It's pretty good. It's come together and looking pretty good. And all the executives back in LA would start panicking because they'd be like, he sounds less than enthused that this is going to work. So then he'd get off the phone and then his agent would call him Peter. Peter, what's wrong? Is there a problem with the production? And Peter goes, no, it's fine. Why? He goes, well, they're panicking. They didn't think you sounded very excited about what's going on. But that's a huge part of our psyche is understating what you're doing.”

  24. “So we in New Zealand could not have said that's amazing. We had to say in the New Zealand accent it would be oh yeah, that's fairly interesting. And the other thing we would say is some New Zealander could do something that was groundbreaking. But in New Zealand, because it was a New Zealander who had maybe achieved this groundbreaking idea, we would say, oh, it's pretty good. Or they'd say, oh, yeah, that's pretty good for a New Zealander. And I was talking, I did an interview with Peter Jackson, and he said, the number of times that a studio would call his agent panicking about something that Peter Jackson was making because they'd get on the phone with Peter Jackson and they'd say to Peter, how's it going? You know, how's the cut going on the film? And Peter would say, oh, yeah.”

It was more that we were, she became hyper aware of it because we pointed it out to each other. Right. And I became hyper aware of the times that I would sometimes say it too. Funny you should say about word choices, one of the first shows that I ever worked on was called That's Fairly Interesting.”

  27. “Yeah, I really think when you put something down on paper, it sounds so simple. It's like a pen and a piece of paper. Just write down something. I really believe that it's not a small thing. That's like almost like a contract that you've made with yourself. Just putting it down. The other thing I say to people is don't just put it down, but write it down and then put it on a sticky and put it everywhere where you go where you have like little moments when you're brushing your teeth or when you go out to get your keys from the garage and you put the sticker next to the keys. Things that you, places and wall spaces that you repeatedly hit on the refrigerator, places that your mind goes to every single day around the house, in the car, wherever it is, little reminders of, well, why am I not doing that?”

  28. “So, in the long term, those are the moments that you remember. I couldn't tell you what deadlines I was rushing to get done that I theoretically sacrificed to go spend time with my daughter. So I said to a lot of people, I was forced into creating this lifelist and writing this book and trying to help other people with my philosophy of no opportunity wasted because I had this experience. A lot of people don't have that experience. And I say to them, if you were to take your last breath tomorrow at 3 o'clock, what do you think would be the last thing in your mind? I kind of get them to just project to that. And it could be something as simple as I always wanted to write a book. I always wanted to start my own business. Always wanted to play the guitar, or I always wanted to spend one-on-one time with my dad, or I wish that I'd repaired that relationship with my brother because we haven't spoken.”

  29. “Well, I think it's the idea that in life is a series of moments. And what will you remember at the end of your life? You know, when you take your last breath, what's the last thought you're going to have as you die? You know, what is that? Is it some moment with somebody? Is it some regret? Is it you want to die, I think, in peace with something special? And so those moments where your kid asks you to do something, they're limited when you have them. It's a gift, right? The whole idea that you have a child, you never get that back. The deadline thing, there were many times where I put what I was doing on hold and spent the time with her and then it cost me into the night trying to make up the time. But I can't even remember what it was I was trying to get done. But I do remember the moments with her. Right.”

And the other rule I had was if my daughter ever asked me to do something, no matter what I was doing, no matter even if I was on a deadline, if she said, Dad, can we go With the dog, kick football, play volleyball, what you read to me that I would always say yes. That was the thing, the rule that I had, which I really value.”

With my daughter, and I think with kids, when they're young, just allow them to dream without putting your own limitations on what it is they think they can do or they say they want to do. I remember my daughter came up to me when she was about nine. I would always read to her every night. That was my thing. I would read some piece of a book to her. So we had that time together.”

So one of the rules that we had in our house with my daughter is, and we all had to correct each other from time to time. We had this game where nobody was allowed to say, I can't. We took, I can't, out of the vocabulary in our house. And we all did it. But we all got better and better at not doing it. And I wanted my daughter to practice that. And she'd say, well, Dad, there's just certain things I can't do. And I go, yeah, but you don't want to be saying or perpetuating the idea that you can't do something. So find another way of saying.”

And it's harder and harder to keep that sponge moist as you get older. But I really started to practice that. So all my life I've tried to put myself around people and or I've gravitated towards people who see that things are possible and that things that anything is possible. And to me, it's like magic. I feel like I'm around magicians who make things happen out of nothing. And I feel very honored that with all the stuff that I've done in my life, I've met so many of these people.”

You don't want to be 50 trying to make a turn being an expert as a pessimist. And we've all met them. And you meet a pessimist or somebody who's great excuses, sometimes I will hear excuses and I will laugh out loud and the person will look at me like, what are you laughing at? And I'm like, dude, you are unbelievably good at excuses. This is like experts.”

I made up a quote which I really that I share with a lot of people, which is focus on what you do have and what you can do instead of what you don't have and what you can't do. I really am a big believer in practicing to change mindset. So my daughter, who's 21, I say to her, Ell, you're young, you have this amazing, pliable brain. I said, if you practice, you Being an optimist now at this young age. By the time you're my age, you have With ten thousand hours of practicing being an optimist, you're going to be an amazing optimist. You practice focusing on what you do have and what you can do as opposed to what you don't have and what you can't do, you're going to be so good at using what's around you and focusing on what you can do with it.”

And what I realized was that this guy was super experienced and had been down on that shipwreck many times. Observed him being an expert doing something And looked out at that, rather than turning it back into my own head about what I didn't know and what I couldn't do, that I was in good hands. So ever since that moment and all the crazy things that I've done, I've taken a tremendous amount of comfort in being surrounded by people who I know are better at me at doing something, who have tremendous expertise at whatever they're doing, and to really observe them in that moment when they are in their When they are using expertise that is taken possibly at least 10,000 hours to get to and to look at it in a way like, wow.”

Like he didn't have any indication that there was any fear in me at all. But then I kind of said, you know, listen to man, I really freaked out. He goes, oh, no kidding. And I said, but I need to go back. We've got to go back and do this. And we went back and we did it. And we shot it. And that was the start. That was the first thing I ticked off my list.”

  42. “And I was like, damn, you know, you've got a lot to do with your life. So, no, but there were all these things that came to me. And a lot of them were very selfish. I was 19 years old. So I got myself together and I wanted to find a piece of paper and a pen. And I just wrote down just everything that I felt like I had all the time in the world to do and that I had to get down on a piece of paper to get out to go, okay. This is not a dress rehearsal. You can die. You will die. You don't know how long you've got before you die. You better figure out what you're doing with your life and you better get on with it straight away. And one of the first things on my list was go back in the shipwreck.”

  43. “It was actually right out there. I mean, I was in my sexual prime. I mean, come on. It was right up there. I don't want to say it was the first thing because I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me, but it was up there.”

  44. “Was as if my IQ went up twenty five points in that moment. Do you know what I mean? Because I was like, how dumb were you that you thought you were going to live forever? How dumb were you that you've been doing all these dumb things in your life and you really have no purpose in life? And I started to think about this is all happening while I'm having these conversations with them, but I'm like, I'm thinking, man. I love girls and I haven't even really explored that whole world.”

  45. “Panicking, mad panic, eyes like wide saucers to being on the boat, to looking up into the sky and seeing the most amazing blue I'd ever seen in my life. Like just look like totally surreal. And I'm lying on the ground, like breathing, and I look up and all these faces looking down. Phil, you good? You good? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm good, like trying to play like nothing happened, but my heart is pounding, like pounding. I was so like the feeling of euphoria, the relief of being alive to know that I was alive was like nothing I'd ever experienced. And it really was all this stuff.”

  46. “Very quickly, and we weren't on nitrox. Nitrox, as you know, is a mixed gas that you can get where it has more oxygen and less nitrogen. So it increases your bottom time. So this is pre-nitrox days. And so, yes, you're absolutely right. We had a very limited window, which is why he must have gone off to find the crew because he realized we are eating up a lot of time. And where were they, where were the crew? Well, I don't remember exactly how I got from there to the boat. But this guy obviously came back to get me. And really... It's all a blur between.”

  47. “So I started taking a little bit of water and I'm beating the valve and just panicking, like mad, mad panic. And I thought, I have to get out of here. And all you want to do is just get out, right? But I don't know how to get out. I don't know where up and down is. The bubbles don't go up when the ship's on its side like that and you're deep down. They hit the walls and then they run up the walls. They follow weird paths. And I thought, I have no idea where I am right now. I can't even see where the table is and panicking, panicking. And I knew that someone had died in there. Someone had gone in there and got disconnected from a group and he had died and drifted off into the ship and died. I also knew that one of the engineers never made it out when the ship sank in the first place.”

  48. “I'm like, why is he leaving? Why did he just leave? So in my haste to find my light, I start flailing around, let go of the table, and I feel myself drifting away from where the table is and moving, drifting into the ballroom. And I just went into a mad panic and I couldn't find my light. By the time I found my light, I'd stilted up all the water around me. I couldn't see anything. And now I don't know where the table was that I was meant to hold on to. And I'm looking ahead. I can't see any lights. I can't see him. And I started to breathe really, really fast. And now you're a diver. You understand this. But when you dive, and for anybody who's never had a regulator in their mouth, if you breathe too quickly, there's a little diaphragm that allows for exhalation and inhalation in the regulator that you put in your mouth to suck in air. If you go too fast, the diaphragm can't keep up with the speed of inhalation and exhalation, and then you start to suck.”

  49. “And after what seemed like minutes, I wanted to turn my light on, but I also didn't want to do it because I thought he'll think I'm a wimp. Like, why am I turning my light? I just wanted to turn my light on to see where I was, like to have some sense of where I was. He flicks his light on, like in Halloween when you take your light and you put it at the chin and you make yourself look scary. Right. That's all I remembered. The light went on. He's pointing from his chin looking up. He looks scary. Then he gestures me with his hand, puts it out in front of me like wait, then he points at my hands on the table like and gestures for me to hold on to the table. And then boom, he just disappears around a corner. And I don't have my light on. He's got his light on it. And the light disappears and he's gone. Well, in that moment, I”

  50. “Now, the ship is on its starboard side or on its right side. So all the tables on a ship are all bolted to the floor. So imagine the tables on a right angle to us. And then he gestures to me to hold on to the table. And then he told me on the surface that we were going to switch out the lights to save battery power because it's cold. And now we don't have a lot of, we've got seven mil wetsuits on. It's pretty cold. And you can feel kind of the current pushing through the ship. And that's why we're holding onto the table so we didn't drift through the room. And now we're looking ahead and he sort of points at me and looks ahead and says, that's where the crew's going to come out. And I knew that that's where they're going to come out. So I was like, okay. So we're waiting with the lights off in the dark and I'm processing all of this and starting to try to slow my breathing down and like stay calm. It's okay.”
