I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.

I'm an everything Baltimore fan.

My dad said to me growing up: 'When all is said and done, if you can count all your true friends on one hand, you're a lucky man.'

A pinwheel also needs wind. And with our actions, and our intentions, we can be that wind. We have to be those agents of change for the young people and their families in our communities.

I never considered a career in broadcasting, not even as a kid.

I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends.

Jazz of the sort we play is a happy, extroverted music. You don't have to think about it too much.

Writing is a form of talking, although writing is such an odd thing in and of itself. People go about it in such different ways.

In his youth Michael Owen was literally a greyhound.

I'm terribly fastidious. I like symmetry and neatness, but my house is as chaotic as any other family's.

Penitentiary songs have been a love of mine for years. They are so wonderful.
