A yacht is not for me. I don't enjoy it.
As I've grown - dare I say it - older, I had hopes of indulging my dreams of being a sailor.
Everybody seems to live rather well down here in Monaco!
I was never part of the sailing circle, but I enjoy when I'm invited to sail.
There, the grand lines of mountain and sea are admirable, and apart from the exotic vegetation that is here, Monte Carlo is certainly the most beautiful spot of the entire coast: the motifs there are more complete, more picturelike, and consequently easier to execute.
Sailing is a big outlet for me.
When you're on a boat, you're going to little islands and stuff. It's not a partying kind of thing.
I don't like clothes. I don't especially like cars. I have a very nice house. I get sick on a boat.
I haven't got the yacht any more. The cost of running it was crazy. But it was so much fun while I had it. I don't regret it.
I want to go to Italy and France; those are my two places. And I really want to go to Greece. I've seen so many pictures on Airbnb that make me think I should be living there. I could eat great salads and be on a boat.
If I wasn't acting, I would sail professionally. Nowhere specific, but I'd sail to Bermuda, South Africa, ya know, get paid to race in Regattas, I think that'd be pretty rad.
Believe me, I've done my time travelling the world in cramped conditions and carrying my own luggage. Now my leisure is summers in the south of France or the Hamptons, walking in Connemara, and year-round shopping in Manhattan and Paris.
Sailing is in the same vein as horse riding. There's a beauty to it; it's an elegant sport. You have to employ your intelligence. It's technical, but you also have to take into account the natural elements - the wind, the water, the weather.
I would love to be a grinder on some race yacht.
I've been sailing from the age of 2, and apparently, when I was 4, I told my dad, 'I know how to do this; you don't have to come with me anymore.'
I used to own a dingy and can still sail one if pushed, but I like the pleasure boats.
I am not a fan of being in the sea. I like being in a boat - sailing.
Most people say, "I can't wait to retire so I can play golf," or go yachting or whatever they do. Well, if I was playing golf, I would want that to finish so I could go and dream up a new TV show.
For years I have been going to the South of France to cool out.
I love boats. I can be on a boat for days.
A Wired reader told me once, Get a life, which I read from the back of a yacht in the Aegean, while eating fresh sea urchins and drinking terrific Montrachet.
Boats are something I am very, very passionate about; cars are something I grew up with... I used to race cars since I was a child.
Yachting may call to mind champagne flutes and seersucker, but danger and risk have always been a part of the America's Cup.
I get inspired in certain places. You have to write in places like Amsterdam or Paris or New Zealand, when you're standing on a yacht, looking out at the middle of the ocean.
For many years I enjoyed the pleasure of cruising on my yacht all summer long and these were my best holidays. In mid-May, we'd start in St Tropez. I'd collect my bikinis from my home there and then we'd go up to Cannes for the Film Festival, on to Monte Carlo for the Grand Prix and then to Italy.
