Read, read, read, read and then read some more.
W. P. Kinsella
I became exclusively an American League fan when they instituted the DH rule, and will remain so until the National League moves out of the dark ages.
W. P. Kinsella
[I had ] uneventful, though isolated childhood. Good, kind, stable parents.
W. P. Kinsella
Growing up is a ritual, more deadly than religion, more complicated than baseball, for there seem to be no rules. Everything is experienced for the first time.
W. P. Kinsella
I think it is worse [in 2015] for a mid-list author such as myself. You either have to sell like Stephen King or go with the small presses where there is no money. I was lucky to have been in the right place and time for many years.
W. P. Kinsella
I'm a big fan of curling, follow all the major world events. Watch all four Tennis majors.
W. P. Kinsella
My main income came from failed movie and TV options.

W. P. Kinsella
The law is like rope...useful, necessary, strong, but it can be bent and twisted into all kinds of shapes depending on the occasion.
W. P. Kinsella
I was lucky to get one good adaptation. Field of Dreams the Musical is lurking in the wings. Hope it will provide my daughters with a ton of money someday.
W. P. Kinsella
I don't have time to read nonfiction.
W. P. Kinsella
The Great Gatsby, the finest novel ever written.
W. P. Kinsella
It is the same game that Moonlight Graham played in 1905. It is a living part of history, like calico dresses, stone crockery, and threshing crews eating at outdoor tables. It continually reminds us of what was, like an Indian-head penny in a handful of new coins.
W. P. Kinsella
Discovered W. Somerset Maugham in about 5th grade. Didn't understand the plots, but loved the descriptions.
W. P. Kinsella
Other people get into occupations by accident or design but writers are born. I could work at selling motels, or slopping hogs, for fifty years, but if someone asked my occupation, I'd say writer, even if I'd never sold a word. Writers write. Other people talk.
W. P. Kinsella
Curt Flood, of course, was in a class by himself, a true hero.
W. P. Kinsella
I am an old-fashioned storyteller. I try to make people laugh and cry. A fiction writer's duty is to entertain. If you can sneak in something profound or symbolic, so much the better.
W. P. Kinsella
I lost my wife Barbara to cancer few years ago. I would give whatever time I have left to spend one more day with her.

Until Color TV came along, BW TV was too muddy to be enjoyable.
