History is more interesting than most people think.

History is exciting because it's true.

I love history because when you strip away the social and political aspects, it's really just a bunch of fun stories.

The one challenge you have when you're going back into history is that people, unlike with today's news - we think we know what's happened already - we think that it's history and therefore less interesting.

History is history.

History is full of really good stories. That's the main reason I got into this racket: I want to make the argument that history is interesting.

What I'm passionate about is History, and politics interest me only insofar as it is the cross-section of History in the present.

Politics is very interesting and always leads to conflict.

I've always been intrigued by the way history works, the way we decide what is mentioned.

American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.
