If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.

I spent more time on dark ships in danger zones than any other woman in the world.

I have a ship's bed, which totally plays to my obsession of, if I were not an actress, I would be a pirate.

My father was a sea captain, so was his father, and his father before him, and all my uncles. My mother's people all followed the sea. I suppose that if I had been born a few years earlier, I would have had my own ship.

Every seaman is not only a navigator, but a merchant and also a soldier.

My wife's an Australian and a very competitive lady, and she wants to sail in Sydney-Hobart. I say, 'We have the boat, do as you wish.' I'll let her run the show.

But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.

When I'm not surfing or sailing, I am to be found at the harbour working on my boat.
