You have to know the story that you're telling, and you have to know the tone in which the story is being told.

I've seen things that should get a lot of attention get no attention. I've seen things that were not supposed to be a big deal become the biggest thing in the world.

My girlfriend and I never let each other forget how much we love each other. It's all about reminding the other person how important and special she is to you.

I was never one of those kids that felt like I had to go to practice or that I was being made to go to practice or forced to play the game. Baseball was a natural fit for me.

Some things are worth the wait.

You have to know the story that you're telling, and you have to know the tone in which the story is being told.

I love telling stories, I love for someone to see something, and go, "Oh, wow, I've never thought of it that way." Because I've had those moments in my life, where I go, "Oh, my God, I've never looked or approached this topic and had that insight or had that idea come to mind," to where it changes your life, it changes the way you see certain things. I love that. I think that's such a cool thing that we get to do by sharing stories, whether they're fiction or nonfiction.
