Studying psychology is fun because you're always looking for the same things I think a writer should be looking for, which is the story behind the story.

I'm always determined that as a novelist I'm going to go out there and research my characters very thoroughly before I start writing.

I think that there's something extremely beautiful about the Olympic ideal and its motto - 'Swifter, higher, stronger' - it's such a beautiful motto, and it celebrates everything which is the antithesis of death and dissolution and entropy.

I think, in common with a lot of novelists, I wasn't the most athletic guy at school.

I don't want people to think that I can't make fun of myself.

I guess I had fun doing it but it has hard memories for me.

Obviously my last two years in the NFL were not much fun at all.

I remember watching 'Quantum Leap' when I was a kid with my family, so I think that's fun and nostalgic.

I was made fun of by a lot of other kids in such a way that I didn't feel like I was human.
