I'm A Babe In The Woods When

The Past Always Seems Better When You Look Back On It Than It Did At The Time. And The Present Never Looks As Good As It Will In The Future.

I Read Very Widely, Both Non-fiction And Fiction, So I Don't Think There's A Single Writer Who Influences Me.

I Don't Believe In Blaming Inanimate Objects For Anything.

I Dive As Much As I Can.

The Ocean Is The Only Alien And Potentially Hostile Environment On The Planet Into Which We Tend To Venture Without Thinking About The Animals That Live There, How They Behave, How They Support Themselves, And How They Perceive Us. I Know Of No One Who Would Set Off Into The Jungles Of Malaysia Armed Only With A Bathing Suit, A Tube Of Suntan Cream, And A Book, And Yet That's Precisely How We Approach The Oceans.
