History is more interesting than most people think.

History is more interesting than politics.

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.

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.

There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.

History is history.

I've been completely fascinated with history because it tells everything about what's going to happen next because it's cyclical, everything repeats in general.

I feel like history is about going and discovering the great human stories that just are every bit as relevant as anything that's going on today.

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

But whenever history is in the making, there's some kind of intangible feeling.
