No amount of money could make me play for Liverpool, that isn't disrespect to Liverpool or their fans, it's respect for Everton

My first book was called 'Buried Dreams,' about a serial-killer, which was probably about ten years ahead of the serial-killer curve. It was a national bestseller, but it was three years of living in the sewer of this guy's mind.

My problem with most athletic challenges is training. I'm lazy and find that workouts cut into my drinking time.

In my life outdoors, I've observed that animals of almost any variety will stand in a windy place rather than in a protected, windless area infested with biting insects. They would rather be annoyed by the wind than bitten.

Many people go into the wilderness to experience it, and if they experience it in comfort, there's very little in a literary sense for them to write about.

My idea of a vacation is staying home and doing short day hikes, floating the river and things like that.
