I've always wanted to push myself and move with the tide. That's just how I am and it's worked for me.

I have been out again on the river, rowing. I find nothing new.

For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.

I think life's a bit of what you make it and a little smidgen of you being the jellyfish, and the tide's just gently helping you along.

From the beginning, I wanted to live my own life, and patiently I shored up that desire against wind and tide.

Surfing big waves is not an extreme sport to me. I fall off, tumble down, and come up. My heart's racing because I'm thinking I almost drowned, and I thank God I can breathe again, but I always think, 'What am I hitting?' Water.

I just believe that sometimes in life you're like a shark - you have to keep moving through water; otherwise, you'll die.

Born on an island, I could swim before I could walk, thrown many times into swimming pools and warm transparent Caribbean waters: sink or swim, that was my first lesson. While I'm not a natural athlete, I'm still a strong swimmer and feel a great affinity with the sea.

If you want to change the world, find someone to help you paddle.
