I can handle the craziness some of the time, maybe most of the time. But I know I can't handle it all of the time.
I do a lot of reading, meditating, and praying to stay as grounded as I can be in this crazy world.
Being married means I can break wind and eat ice cream in bed.
I do love being solo because I can have more of my own creative input to every aspect of my career.
Many are asking what my credentials are and what I can do for the Philippines. They are telling me that they heard I am a womanizer. That is true. That is very true.
No matter how liberal I am, I'm still outraged by crimes of violence. Regardless of whether I can sympathize with the causes that lead these individuals to do these crimes, the effects are outrageous.
I'm not a big fan of flying. I definitely try to take the bus whenever I can. I've gotten a little bit better about it, but it was a pretty crippling thing for many years. I feel safer in a private plane.
Croatia has been glorious - it's so beautiful, and I want to go back as often as I can.
I am writing a book about the Crusades so dull that I can scarcely write it.
I can't look into the crystal ball. All I can do is the here and now.
I can see my competitors sweating, and I am cool as a cucumber.
I can make chicken curry, rice, kheema... I am a foodie and enjoy varied cuisines. My favourites are Korean and Japanese.
When I travel, I can leave everything at home apart from books. I curate my holiday reading rigorously and would be devastated if I found I'd left one at home.
Running for office was definitely something I've thought about. When I was younger, I wanted to major in political science. And I've been engaged in current events since I was a kid. If I can make a difference and feel passionately and capable, then I would. Why not?
The greatest luxury now in being reasonably well-off - overlooking the Ferrari and the aeroplane - is that I can always go for a curry without worrying if I can afford it.
I can get runs much faster if I stay there in the middle to give bowlers more time and cushion.
I'm a pretty hands-on dad and make the most of my custody. I take care of my little one whenever I can, and she determines what I can do and where I can do it.
I love surfing, rock climbing, cycling - all that stuff. But it's just amazing that I can inspire people with my running. It's humbling, really.
I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.
I think I can beat Usher on the dance floor.
