I don't think that growing up in the entertainment industry is the healthiest place for kids. The track record kind of shows that.

I think my biggest problem was, as a celebrity on a TV show, you get an inflated ego and you think you're the center of the universe.

I believe the Scriptures teach that there's a literal heaven and a literal hell, just like Jesus said. And without forgiveness of sins that, yeah, the place of punishment is called hell.

America is a beacon of hope for the world. And yet we are in so much trouble.

I spent most of my career in hi tech, not in politics.

I was forced to learn a lot about psychology as a player, and as a captain to get the best out of others. There's still a lot of scepticism about it in sport and the workplace, but dealing with fluctuations of form, and pressure, and being away from home are more important than your cover-drive.

I've been many kinds of writers in my career: novelist; tele-playwright; short story writer. As a high-school student, I wrote amateur pieces for fanzines, and I've written for Hollywood.

I really feel that the thing that I love the most about my career is that it is so eclectic. You know, I've gone from so many genres and so many different mediums and I love that most - that people have always given me the chance to do vastly different things.
