Fishing is a hard job. Fishing at night. Rain. Day, night. You have to be wise and smart. And quick.

If you give a person a fish, they'll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they'll fish for a lifetime.

I can really fish - I've been fishing since I was a kid.

Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self.

There are always new places to go fishing. For any fisherman, there's always a new place, always a new horizon.

From birth to death, anyone can fish. I just think it's fantastic to see old people going fishing with young people and teaching them things. I'm very, very critical.

Fishing is very meditative; you need to be able to give up control and cast out the line and then hope for the best, so in that way, it's quite like acting.

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
