I've got a lot of great memories. The journey was great. It just probably makes you more hungry the second time. I'm a lot older and I think I appreciate it more being older now and how hard it is to get to the Final and win it.

Mike Fisher

I love being outdoors and try to work out outside when I can. I spent most of my childhood outdoors.

Miranda Kerr

The older I get, the more I appreciate my childhood. It was paradise.

Since 2005, I have not spent much time with my family. In fact I have spent more time at the Taj Landsend in Mumbai. It was my 100th visit recently, which means I have spent more than 400 days in that hotel, and that is a lot more than I have spent with my family.

MS Dhoni

I spent a lot of time outdoors as a kid.

Joel Edgerton

I understand the rural south because I spent a lot of time in it when I was a kid and my grandfather’s brothers were farmers and I spent time on the farm when I was a kid with them walking through the fields and working and hanging out.

Samuel L. Jackson

Childhood has definitely been invented, hasn't it? I think that's because people had children later, and we appreciate and cherish childhood a lot more.

Helen McCrory

I started out wanting to be a naturalist. My obsession in my youth was with bird-watching. I collected things, I spent a lot of time outdoors. I only vaguely realized that science was a little more than natural history, but by then I was hooked.

Matt Ridley

I have spent a lot of time in L.A. It's sort of like my third home - Sydney, rural Tasmania and then L.A.

Melissa Leong

I came from a childhood where I spent a lot of time alone and a lot of time just living with my imagination, and a certain amount of the adult world was kind of alienating.

Chris Cornell

I've spent a long time avoiding painting and dealing with it from a distance. But as I get older, I'm more comfortable with it.

Damien Hirst

I wonder if I love the communal act of eating so much because throughout my childhood, with four older brothers and a mom who worked in the restaurant business, I spent a lot of time fending for myself, eating alone - and recognizing how eating together made all the difference.

Thomas Keller

When I have free time, which I wish I had more of, playing frisbee is a great way to get outdoors and have a bit of fun.

Evan Sharp

I spent my childhood outdoors on my grandparents' farm. I learned to ride a motorbike when I was about six, a little PeeWee 50. I'd climb trees - there was a big weeping willow.

Miranda Kerr

With 'Black Rain,' I spent a lot of time with homicide detectives, and I spent a lot of time with different brokers on 'Wall Street.' It helps get the rhythm of the piece and the tone, and how overplayed or underplayed it might be. That's also the magic of movies: You get to hang out and live these different lives.

Michael Douglas

Part of my childhood was spent in Sydney and part in rural New South Wales, at Armidale.
