I have no interest in non-fiction. I don't read it and don't watch it and don't write it, other than a little journalistic column.

Most people write a lot of autobiography, but when I came to write autobiography I discovered that nothing interesting had ever happened to me. So I had to take the situation and invent stories to go with it.

Baseball is meant to be a contemplative game. They play music to draw young people to the game. If young people can't come to the game without music, then they should stay home.

I'm a big fan of curling, follow all the major world events. Watch all four Tennis majors.
