I've always wanted to be able to hold my breath for like, ever, and swim in the water like a fish.

We use the coastline as much as the sea otters. And we take fish from the water, we swim in the water, surf in the water. And what's happening to the sea otter could very well be happening to a much larger picture than just the animals themselves.

Growing up with my dad, whenever I wanted to try something, he would let me try it but he wouldn't let me give up on it. If soccer was too tough and I said, 'I'm going to quit,' he'd be like, 'No, you're going to try everything and keep going at it.'

Don't be a fish; be a frog. Swim in the water and jump when you hit ground.

All Americans deserve clean water to drink and safe places to swim and fish.

I had one drama teacher who was amazing, Ms. Perkins. She really tried to inspire me and get me going.
