I love getting into the basement of a courthouse, and all the dusty records - all that stuff makes me really happy.

History is absolutely my thing.

I don't think I've ever done anything that's completely the same, yet.

Your truth really can't be twisted. It is what it is. That doesn't mean that a person can't develop and change and reinterpret their life.

I would not give up a lot of what I know about my heritage. I would not give up knowing where I came from, the good parts and the bad parts.

I personally love books that make me think, so I naturally gravitate toward writing a book like that, one that's going to make someone think and make me think.

I think Scotland is probably my spiritual home and I love it there very, very much.
