If I swim in the ocean, I have a shark thought. Not a bad one, but just a little one.

I'm like a shark. I've got to be constantly moving.

I swam with my first shark in the 1980s. I was 20 miles off the coast of Rhode Island, working with a group of marine scientists. Late in the day, a 5-foot long blue shark swam into our chum slick. For the next hour, I marveled at the animal's stunning indigo color and the elegant way she moved effortlessly through the sea.

I'm a pretty basic surfer.

I am really a sea creature. Just a mammal that lost its fins.

I'm not real good at surfing, and I'm terrified of sharks. That's, like, one of my main fears. Snakes, sharks, deep water, and commitment. I think those are my four big ones.

I've been on swims where people have freaked out about sharks. You have to think about something else, otherwise it will absolutely paralyze you. I do math problems, anything.

I do my very best to avoid shark fin.

I do a lot of swimming, both in the ocean and in the pool.
