I’ve never been one to run around in Speedos on the beach.
It feels like Gangstarr is the purest group in hip-hop. They was shooting videos on the beach in the winter when the water was ice. Razor-blade music.
My grandpa and I, whenever we would go to Myrtle Beach, we couldn’t wait to get there and have fried seafood.
In California, I’m more of a beach chick, and I kind of take on a model city girl when I’m in New York.
Nobody wants to stay in Green Bay and run laps in the snow and go boxing in the gym. Everybody has what works for them, and I feel as though this works for me – it keeps me hungry, it keeps me with that edge. Other guys get a hard day’s work in, but they’re on the beach afterward.
I couldn’t live in L.A. and not be close to the beach, you know, that’s like the whole thing. I don’t understand people who don’t live by the beach. Why would you not?
Ever since I was a little teen, I was told by my great-grandma that you’ve got to always have a good moisturizer. I use cocoa butter, and I use it for all things needing moisture – face, hair, throw it on those legs at the beach, get them all shiny. Cocoa butter is such a great product.
I like anywhere with a beach. A beach and warm weather is all I really need.
I grew up on the beach, so I’m really comfortable in a bathing suit, playing volleyball, running around.
It sounds ideal, a sort of beach childhood. But it wasn’t really. I didn’t use the beach very much at all.
When I was in my late 30s, I lit a figure on fire on Baker Beach in San Francisco. It was me, a friend, and maybe eight people, tops. There wasn’t any premeditation to it at all. It was really just a product of San Franciscan bohemian milieu.
I was kind of an unhappy kid. I always felt like a cynical New Yorker trapped in a little kid’s body. I started to get some pretty bad anxiety disorders around puberty, which totally did not work with growing up a mile away from the beach. I started cutting my own hair.
A lot of my buddies also played golf, but when it came to going to the beach or on the boat and chasing girls, they usually went that way and I went to the golf course to practice. Sometimes they’d come from the beach at dark to pick me up at the course.
To wake up in England and have the newspaper on your front door with a headline that says, ‘Ozzie’s Beach Whale of a Daughter,’ doesn’t really do much for your self-esteem at all.
If you do something that’s going to get somebody a job, then they’ll be able to pay for their kid’s school, and then their kid is going to be a doctor, and then that doctor is going to probably help who knows how many other people, so it’s very motivating. Much more fun than going to the beach.
In private, I may wear a bikini, but at the public beach with my kids, I would change bathing suits because they do not want to be hanging out with some old broad in a bikini.
My husband is a journalist as well, and while we love beaches, we can’t sit for that long. If we go to a beach destination, there needs to be something else we can do there as well. I need to be around interesting and different people and cultures.
I’m gonna open a small restaurant on the beach in Mexico. We’re only gonna have a few tables, and we’re only gonna cook what’s fresh that day. We’re gonna get back to the basics.
After Fergie and Prince Andrew honeymooned at Le Touessrok in Mauritius, Bobby, my late husband, and I were first to stay in their suite. We enjoyed the benefits – all the spoils and the special luxuries. We practically had our own private beach, and it was most romantic.
I’m going to die one day. I know it’s coming for me, too. I’ll be a mountain, I’ll be a stone on the beach. I’ll be nourishment.
My best holidays were in Devon and Cornwall when the children were growing up. We always used to stay on farms because our children were pretty wild, and it was great going to the beach every day. We used to go to Launceston and Salcombe and all over those two counties.
There were times over the years when life was not easy, but if you’re working a few hours a day and you’ve got a good book to read, and you can go outside to the beach and dig for clams, you’re okay.
All of the people who work in the kitchen with me go out into the forests and on to the beach. It’s a part of their job. If you work with me you will often be starting your day in the forest or on the shore because I believe foraging will shape you as a chef.
There is a natural progression to ‘Lost,’ and as the story goes forward, it’s going to change. It’s not a static story. The franchise of ‘Lost’ is not characters sitting on a beach.
I always try to start my weekend by running on the beach, which is great fun here in Barcelona.
My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool’s like – it’s nothing like I imagined it was as a child.
I want to be a simple bride when I get married. I want a beach wedding where I am running around on the sand in a white dress.
Ah, my dad’s whistle. On holidays when I was a kid, we would all be off in the rock pools along the beach. When it came time to go, we’d hear the whistle and we’d all come running. Like dogs!
I was bused to a school in Gerritsen Beach in Brooklyn in 1972. I was one of the first black kids in the history of the school.
I didn’t go nightclubbing much as a teenager in Bournemouth because my friends and I didn’t have the money – but we spent a lot of time on the beach, having barbecues, and running into the sea in the middle of the night.
I always had the most fun going to the beach on the weekends with my friends. In a way, we treated our beach style the way New Yorkers treat their street style, so I was always conscious of how I looked.
I get a call from my sister. They go, ‘We met the funniest, funniest doctor in Newport Beach.’ And they introduced me to Dr. Terry Dubrow.
There’s a Diebenkorn painting – ‘Ocean Park No. 68’ – that is the color of a swimming pool and always reminds me of summers at the beach.
Of course I would buy a house in Marbella. In Marbella, you can buy a house by the beach, relax there, and later you can go there on holiday and everything.
I don’t really like the gym. I like to fool my body. I run around the beach and then there’s scaffolding so I can just do different pulls-ups there.
I was born in New York. I grew up in San Francisco, Long Beach, and Los Angeles.
It happened on ‘Laguna Beach’ where you don’t know what’s real and fake, and I saw cast members who couldn’t distinguish what was real and what was fake anymore. It was kind of scary to see, so I kept them very separate so that I didn’t go crazy.
When the Beatles came in, I really concentrated on making a lot of movies. Those beach films that we did were a lot fun. They hit with an audience that related to what we were trying to do on the screen. That kept me going all through that Beatle period.
Once you find that perfect suit that fits just right, it will give you an extra boost of confidence that will make your pool or beach day even better.
My dad was very excited about me doing ‘Laguna Beach,’ and he thought it was a great opportunity. My mom, however, living in Chicago, was a little nervous. I mean she had some reservations about MTV. I think there was a point in my life where I wasn’t even allowed to watch MTV!
Twenty or 30 years from now, I’m going to be on a beach in Jamaica.
The French, not the Americans, commissioned ‘Einstein on the Beach.’
I grew up in Texas and we used to go to Padre Island, eight hours in the car down to the beach.
I’m kind of a beach bum from Florida, and I have a very different style. I like tight-fitting, Euro-fitting clothes, colored pants.
As a teenager, I spent my days at the beach and nights cooking in Long Island restaurants.
I love to get to Dubai. It’s an impressive place, and you can do lots of different things there – beach, shopping, and other fun things.
My personal style changes wherever I am. When I’m in Ibiza, I’m a bit girlier because there’s an opportunity to be more romantic and dress up for the beach scene. Whereas in New York, I tend to go for suiting and tailoring that almost feels like weaponry for the city – but I think I’m quite playful no matter what.
That was the toughest thing I ever had to do: tell my son that his mum was gone. I was a bachelor living on the beach, but I had to pull it together very quick for my boy.
I got married on a beach in Italy. It was very romantic getting married in Italian. But I’ve no idea what we agreed to.
I’m a walker, whether that’s a stroll on the beach at sunset or getting up at eight o’clock on a Sunday morning and doing an eight-hour hike through a canyon. It’s Zen time for me.
I like to go to the beach, have a bonfire, and play music.
When I come in from the beach at night, I’m too hungry to wait for anything that takes very long.
Well, I came from a small little town on the beach – Grayland, a town of about 1,000 people. I was the quarterback and a basketball player at Ocosta High School. It was a great community to grow up in.
Colombia is not how people think it is. We used to eat fish every Sunday at the beach. In the town where I grew up, people did not tell lies.
I can never fully switch off given my work, but laying on the beach replying to a few emails on my mobile is much better than being stuck in the office.
