Athletes become our heroes, because they're superhuman. They do things nobody else can do. They're better than 6 billion other people.

When friends asked me, Can we help? I'd say, Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest or teleport me off this rock. I used that line from Star Wars.

We're Vatican assassins. How complicated can it be?

Fame is empowering. My mistake was that I thought I would instinctively know how to handle it. But there's no manual, no training course.

I'm tired of ignoring that I march to a different beat.

I'm kind of old-fashioned in a lot of ways. I prefer mano a mano. Even if you have two girls in the house, it's not like we're together all the time. But I need variety.

I just don't want to live like I used to. And at some point, I'm going to put a gag order on myself in terms of talking about the past. I've got to slam the door and deal with the present and the future.
