I love music. I have a fondness for Chopin, and I very much like his 'Raindrop Prelude.'

I have tried to be more flexible, but I always end up feeling more uncomfortable. Retaining a sense of control is really important. I like to do things in my own time, and in my own style, so an office with targets and bureaucracy just wouldn't work.

I love books so much. I've read more books than anyone else I know.

Fischer, the great American chess champion, famously said, 'Chess is life.' I would say, 'Pi is life.'

I do read a lot, and I think in recent years the ratio between the amount of non-fiction and fiction has tipped quite considerably. I did read fiction as a teenager as well, mostly because I was forced to read fiction, of course, to go through high school.

I did have a very restricted, regimented life. There was a kind of happiness there, a contentment, but it was a small happiness within very clear and delineated borders.
