Everyone loves to fly and flying underwater is even better than flying in air because there are things around you.

Pressure hulls collapse at the speed of sound. Once that starts, you're inside your own little imploding atomic bomb, and you're gone.

I grew up before computers. Computers are changing things, not all for the good.

The ocean is this beautiful, unexplored place. Why on Earth everyone isn't down there, I don't know.

The crazy thing is we live on an ocean planet - nobody gets that yet.

Movies like 'The Abyss' and 'Jaws' make people think the ocean is threatening. It's not. It's very tranquil.

Earth is a silly name for this planet.

Scientists are always the ones who head into the ocean, but I want to take writers and politicians, people who can convey the beauty that is there and perhaps do something to take care of it.

The Deep Flight Challenger technology is a game-changer for ocean exploration.

One time on a dive, I wound up drifting up in darkness surrounded by billions of photoluminescent creatures. It was a religious experience, one only a poet could do justice to.

Theres something just magical about flight. Period.

Pegasus's dad was poseidon, the god of the sea, and his mom was Medusa, and evil Gorgon who had fangs and lizard skin and living snakes for hair. And you thought your family was weird.

Where your talents and the needs of the world cross; there lies your vocation.

When you look in the mirror and say, 'I love you,' don't worry if you don't believe it yet. Love is far more powerful than your limiting beliefs.

Forney in Where the Heart Is has more fans than any other character Ive played.

I admire my mother. She raised four kids and worked and had no help.

If the costumes are wrong, you feel awful in them and it lessens your acting.

That's been my sort of aim in life, to never miss an opportunity.

Nature cannot be surprised in undress. Beauty breaks in everywhere.

I usually just say I'm a stand-up comedian, but I use looping machines to create ideas with my voice.

I always prefer to work intensively on something and then move on to something else. I prefer not to get stuck in something that takes five or six years of my life.
