For a long time all I wanted for Christmas were books about outdoor survival. I was convinced that the woods were calling me. I camped a lot I took classes. At 18 I told myself if I don't live in the woods by myself by the time I'm 25 I have failed.

It's just an unhealthy way to approach something trying to outdo your last thing. You've gotta trust evolution you've gotta trust that the bar is moving that you don't need to force the bar. It'll just happen.

I love to take risks I love to travel and I'm very outdoor-sy so any girl who can pick up a football and throw a spiral will definitely catch my attention.

I wasn't a ballet baby. My first dance class was in an outdoor pavilion when I was three. It was called 'creative movement.' The teacher gave us chiffon scarves in beautiful colors. She turned on some music and said 'Now go dance.' So for me dance has always been about self-expression.

When launching a product called an Energy Drink and named Red Bull a product that stimulates body and mind it is a short step to the roots where Red Bull came from. We have been doing this for 20 years - now it's called adventure sports extreme sports and outdoor sports.

Skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face.

I push every day against forces that say you have to go faster be more effective be more productive you have to constantly outdo yourself you have to constantly outdo your neighbor - all of the stuff that creates an incredibly productive society but also a very neurotic one.

Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day.

Politics aside it will be hard for any new liberal radio network to outdo the professionalism of NPR.

It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.

I'm an introvert... I love being by myself love being outdoors love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees flowers the sky.

The wonderful world of home appliances now makes it possible to cook indoors with charcoal and outdoors with gas.

Like most people I can be lazy so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike swim and run and I love to play soccer.

I like the outdoors and the natural world. Environmental issues.

At Current television is all we do - that's our business. We don't have amusement parks I have to worry about we don't have environmental cases against us we don't have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.

My first outdoor cooking memories are full of erratic British summers Dad swearing at a barbecue that he couldn't put together and eventually eating charred sausages feeling brilliant.

I hate the outdoors. To me the outdoors is where the car is.

I personally love to run outdoor fitness trails. I love the meditative value I get when out alone challenging myself to run faster and higher.

Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds listen to their singing go hiking camping and jogging and running walking along the beach playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It's very special to me.
