I don't like cursing in movies. I feel like cursing has become the new hackiness. You try to find substitutions for cursing.

Zach Galifianakis

The best version of surfing is not competing, I think. It's just... it's perfect. You're perfectly present. You're perfectly in the moment. You're perfectly not thinking about anything else in the world. You're just surfing. You're surfing away with your friends or your family, and that's it. You're just there.

John John Florence

Remember, if you don't promote yourself, then no one else will! Likewise, believe in yourself--or no one else will either.

Donald Trump

Surfing and music have always been two completely separate things in my life, and a lot of people, especially in the UK, don't really get surfing very much. They think it's the Californian dream. They're like, "Oh, so you're a surfer and you're this and that," and it's like, I go surfing because I like the outdoors. In England it's freezing cold, and it's usually dark and raining and it's the middle of winter, and you do it because it's invigorating. It's like going on a walk in some remote place on the planet. It's really - it's not very glamorous.

Ben Howard

The balance and patience factors are much more critical in surfing than they are in snowboarding ... if you're out surfing serious waves and you wipe out, you don't land on soft snow. It's usually either very sharp coral, or you get raked across the beach gravel and sand while you're tumbling underwater.

Frederick Lenz

I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.

Paul Walker

It looks easy, like surfing, but surfing is hard too.

George Eads

All I care about, to be honest, is surfing. I love surfing more than anything. To me, there's nothing like that.

Brody Jenner

I've been asked to do surfing movies over the years and offered several opportunities. I just felt that if I were to do one, I'd have to do the perfect surfing movie. And I don't know if that exists because surfing is such a personal thing.

Chris Carter

Often, overeating is a way to punish yourself for the anger and resentment you're feeling - either at yourself or someone else.

Karen Salmansohn

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Mary Schmich

They say that instead of cursing the darkness, one should light a candle. Nothing is mentioned, though, about cursing a lack of candles.

George Carlin

I feel like an ambassador for surfing at this point. I'm happy to go and play that role and share that where I can in certain areas of the mainstream media that doesn't get the surfing attention.
