I began learning the sportswriting business very early in life.

Also, I am driven by a wonderful muse called alimony.

It's kind of ironic that the two sports with the greatest characters, boxing and horse racing, have both been on the decline. In both cases it's for the lack of a suitable hero.

Lots of women tell me I'm their idol.

Travel is an attitude, a state of mind. It is not residence, it is motion.

Computer viruses are alive.

While I'm quite happy and love doing the atmospheric and quirky stuff, the melodic stuff, I've done quite a lot of. It's also another reason why I try not to do two or three at the same time.
