On their deathbed, do people think: 'I wish I'd spent more time with my Ferrari'? Or do they say: 'I wish I'd spent more time watching my kids grow up, I wish I'd spent more time country walking?' It's about the things that matter in life, and how we have an economy that better reflects that.

I couldn't watch 'BP' for a long time, until I started doing this job, because I knew in my heart that 'Blue Planet,' as beautiful as it was, at the end they would always have the human impact, and I struggled to watch it because I felt so powerless.

I'd rather see us as citizens than subjects in the 21st Century.
