I had this aunt who had a career and traveled. She'd say things like, "When you go to college, I think we should go scuba diving in the summer. The scuba diving in Portugal is fabulous." And I'd be like, "Portugal! Holy cats!".
I remember, when I was a kid, my summers were pretty much running around, riding your bike, and then complaining about you were bored.
I loved my time in Minnesota. I loved it so much that I lived up there until 1999.
When you're a kid, all you really care about are Slurpees and Slip N Slide and riding your bike, and that's what I did.
We have our little restaurants, and there's a beautiful beach that we go to in the summer and fall. We tend to have a lot of get-togethers, and if it's at my house, we order pizza because I can't cook.
When I'm not working, I weight train three times a week and swim and surf as much as I can - in the summer, you usually find me in the water.
Summer, after all, is a time when wonderful things can happen to quiet people.
I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.
In the summer Regent's Park is one of the best places in the world with every nationality playing every sport.
Summertime, I think, is a collective unconscious. We all remember the notes that made up the song of the ice cream man; we all know what it feels like to brand our thighs on a playground slide that's heated up like a knife in a fire; we all have lain on our backs with our eyes closed and our hearts beating across the surface of our lids, hoping that this day will stretch just a little longer than the last one, when in fact it's all going in the other direction.
In my garden, which is a big garden, I have one part that is my bird garden, and every morning, 365 days a year, they get buckets of food - for the birds, for the squirrels, the chipmunks and the turtles in the summer.
I'm the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, 'What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?'
I travel pretty much every weekend of the summer. And then during the winter, I still do appearances and a couple contests here and there.
I did not have chance to buy swim suits because I did not go swimming at all. If I ever get a chance to buy one, I want to try one in white or with ribbons.
I love being on the water, wakesurfing and wakeboarding. I'm not thinking about golf. I'm just wondering if my cooler's got enough ice to make it through the day.
During summer or charity games I'll wear my bright orange or green or turquoise ones and guys are always like, 'Why are your shoes so bright?'
I didn't have a pool growing up, and we went to the beach to lay out and get sun.
School's-out-for-summer!!
Americans are really in love with their summertime.
Brass, stay down all summer.
I've never really been a barbecue guy.
Give me books, fruit, French wine and fine weather and a little music out of doors, played by someone I do not know. I admire lolling on a lawn by a water-lilied pond to eat white currants and see goldfish: and go to the fair in the evening if I'm good. There is not hope for that -one is sure to get into some mess before evening.
I was obsessed with movies when I was younger. During the summer, I would go by myself to a theater down the street from my house. I saw every comedy or science fiction movie that came out. My kids love going to the movies, but 3D scares them.
We played on a sandlot all summer. There was no little league back then.
There is no part of the country where in the summer you cannot get a sufficient supply of the best specimens. Teach your children to bring them in for themselves. Take your text from the brooks, not from the booksellers.
