I've always lived by the ocean, and I always will. There's nothing like taking a walk and being able to smell the ocean breeze.

I grew up near the sea in British Columbia and San Francisco, and lived in Malibu and Fiji for years. I get uncomfortable being too far inland.

The sea was at the bottom of my road, and I seemed to spend my childhood in it or on it, hearing, tasting, smelling it. Now, still, I need to be near water as often as possible.

I do an awful lot of scuba diving. I love to be on the ocean, under the ocean. I live next to the ocean.

I live by the sea, but the body of water I have the most feeling about is the Mississippi River, where I used to row and skate, ride on the ferry in childhood, watch the logs or just dream.

I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach.

I grew up on Cape Cod. We didn't live right on the water, but I could walk to it and did every day.

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.

When you grow up on an island, what matters is how you stand to the sea.

My parents live near the ocean, and I've spent a lot of time walking through the water at night, being around the water.
