Quotes - "I want to get out in the water. I want to see fish, real fish, not fish in a laboratory."
- "I can still feel that leap of enthusiasm, and real joy, at the prospect of finally getting out to the beach, and running around. But probably the most important thing, to me, aside from just the freedom of it and the power of it, was the kind of creatures that you could see along the beach, that you can't find anywhere else."
