The Myth About Me As A Footballer

I Tell Myself I Write Because I Want To Say Something True And Original About The Nature Of Evil. That Is Very Ambitious - To Say Something About The Human Condition That Hasn't Been Written Before. Probably I Will Never Succeed But That Is What I Strive To Do.

What Is Worse? Taking The Life Of A Person Who Wants To Live Or Taking Death From A Person Who Wants To Die.

For Me, The Best Places To Write Are On Planes, Trains And At Airports. Not Hotel Rooms But Hotel Lobbies. I'm Really Happy When I'm Waiting For A Plane And The Message Comes That It's Three Hours Late. Great, I'll Get To Write!

When I Was A Teenager, My Father Went Bust. He Could Have Declared Himself Bankrupt, But He Was An Honourable Man And He Insisted On Paying Back All His Debts. That Almost Ruined The Family. I Was Aware That My Mother And Father Couldn't Control Things Anymore. I Guess I Was Afraid That We Would End Up On The Street.

Ever Since I Was In My Teens I Had Plans At One Point In My Life To Write A Novel.
