My good Lord and friend Sala, - [I] enjoyed the blissful pleasure enjoyed by your friendship... When I reached the city [The Hague] again yesterday, I have taken the fishes out of the basket more than 12 times, to show them... That day, friend Sala, belongs among the most pleasant of my life, all moments have kept me alive until now, always sitting [fishing] in the boat, swaying with the bobbers in the field of view.. (Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch)
I had the opportunity to fish as a kid, I just follow through with it. I'm not the best fisherman in the world, but I have a lot more fun than a lot of my other fishing friends in this world, who think they're supposedly experts. Sometimes the fish cooperate, sometimes they don't. View quote

A movie loosely based upon my novel, I Know What You Did Last Summer, opened in theaters around the country. I was ecstatic until I settled into a theater seat with my box of popcorn and discovered that Hollywood had turned my teenage suspense story into a slasher film. The setting had been changed from the mountains of New Mexico to a fishing village on the East Coast, so an insane fisherman, who wasn't in my book, could decapitate my characters with an ice hook. The first thing I did after leaving the theater was phone our daughter Kerry and warn her not to let the grandchildren see it. View quote

I'm vegan in my fashion and vegetarian in my food. I don't buy any leather goods or anything made from animal products – no down, nothing. It's something people should be mindful of. ... I think because I came to live in L. A. the transition was simple because vegetarianism is so common there. And I didn't feel like I was missing that much by being a vegetarian. ... I had a moment about 9 years ago. It was so odd. I was talking to my then-boyfriend and he was talking about a fishing trip and how he'd never had the experience of ‘killing' his food. Even though I had fished my whole life, something just snapped in me and I said, I'm not eating this anymore. ... Being vegan is more challenging, especially when it comes to going out to eat. But I found Chicago has great vegetarian and vegan restaurants. ... Healthwise, I notice when I wasn't eating meat anymore I felt so much lighter. View quote

There is no need for an end to fish, or to fishing for that matter.

View quote
