I'm always working on a few different stories at once, so there's always some really big coffee table book I'm carrying around.

While some of my closest friends were jocks, it seemed that they spoke a different language with each other. Joining in their conversation was fraught with risk.

Digital television, satellite radio, videogames, iPods - so much media. Do books even matter anymore?

I love the challenge of taking something that may be boring to a lot of people but is unarguably important. It's irresistible. I always take projects that I'm paid to learns stuff. I study much harder now than I did when I was in college.

I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.

I don't think everyone should vote. If you have to be dragged into the polls, carried into the polls and smelling salts have to be used, you probably shouldn't be voting. However, we shouldn't be putting up barriers to voting that target certain groups.
