“I surf more now for other people than myself. I feel a lot of support ...” — Kelly Slater Quote

“I surf more now for other people than myself. I feel a lot of support from people wanting me to do well, and I feed off that. I can send a positive message to people from what I do.”

“Maintaining marriage seems to be tougher than fatherhood: apparently it's the most difficult thing in the world.”

“There are so many different elements to surfing. Small waves, big waves, long boards, short boards. This makes it a sport you can share with people. It's not just a solitary thing - it's become a family thing, too. It's about exercising and passing something on from father to son, and from mother to daughter.”

“I've got a family to feed and I've got to work to feed them.”

“I didn't become a caddie because I wanted to be a caddie. I was a caddie because that was how I could make money and feed myself. It was work. It was a dignified job.”

“I am human and get insecure because I am a middle class man and I need to feed my family and acting is the only job I know.”
