My parents put me in the water very early, and also had me skiing at a very early age. They put me on skis when I was one and a half.

My mother told me I said to her, at age three, 'I'm going to go to Italy and get my father in a tractor.' 'You've never seen quite so fierce a little boy as you were,' she told me.

Which is kind of funny, but it's very sad, as well.
