Leonardo DiCaprio

Jodi Picoult

I don't write the same book over and over - I think if I did that, I would stop writing. I couldn't write a series with the same character, and I couldn't write a romance novel over and over again that takes place at a different beach every year. That's not who I am.

Yesterday might have been paining flowers, but today you can paint cars or horses. A new day represents a chance for renewal.

Kerri Walsh

At some point I go back on the sand to get my sand legs. Because it takes a good month for my legs to catch up with everything, with the displacement and all that stuff.
