I live on a boat, which is in the midst of renovation. I figure the good Lord will put me in the right place and hopefully I'll have the right clothes on. I think what we're going to do is bring the boat through the Panama Canal. My husband has always wanted to do that. So I think we'll do that and have the boat in Florida for the winter.
Pessimists are not boring. Pessimists are right. Pessimists are superfluous.
I've always believed that a goal in life is not to own a boat but have a friend with a boat.
I still have such a thing for leather jackets. I have a closet full of them, and my husband is always saying to me, 'Why do you need another jacket? You have plenty of jackets.'

You must take care of the body. Body is like a boat. Life is like a river. On this side is the world; on the other side is God. And so, to reach the other side, that is to reach God, you must maintain this boat carefully. You can keep the boat for any length of time in the water; there is no danger. But if the water comes into the boat, then there is danger.
I've always wanted to sail around the world in a handmade boat. And I built a boat. I had a boat built for me, I mean, and my second day out to sea I realized that (a) I'm not a sailor, and (b) I have no knowledge of basic navigation.
Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life's currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose.
I love to design. I am a commercial fashion designer. I always design jackets with two sleeves. I don't design jackets with three sleeves, or the layers and layers come off like little dolls from Russia. Fashion for me is a creative endeavor, but it is not art for me.
When you see me on the air, I always have jackets on. I like to think I have a flair and a style but I'm always in a business look.
I almost always wear a jacket, but I like different jackets. I also like funny pants.
I had to learn to call book jackets 'jackets' rather than 'covers.'
If you boat a lot, you're known as a boating enthusiast. I like to boat, but I just don't want to ever be referred to as a 'boating enthusiast'. I hope they call me 'a guy who likes to boat'.
I've always wanted to sail around the world in a handmade boat, and I built a boat.
I've always wanted to sail around the world in a handmade boat and I built a boat.
I'm get really into jackets from movies, Keanu Reeves' jackets and that, I don't know why, I just have such a thing for them.
