When I fish, I stop thinking about anything else. But truth be told, if you want to declare victories, I can tell you the fish have won a lot more than I have. It's interesting that something with a brain the size of a fish's can outsmart us humans, who think we are el supremo.

When I am fishing, I think quite a lot about the fish, but I also think about the book I'm writing.

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.

I like to fish. Fishing is always a way of relaxing.

I think it's time for me to get out, because at the moment I'm only thinking about fishing 21 hours a day, and they're the waking moments. And even when I close my eyes I'm thinking about it.

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

I like fishing. Not actual fishing - I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It's different.

I love fishing, any kind of fishing.

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.

One of the things I enjoy the most is fishing.
