I'm not good enough to write about my friends, who are all brilliant and sophisticated.

I knew I loved writing, and I was raised by people who love books.

I'm an inexperienced reporter, and I'm still learning.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.
