First drafts are never any good - at least, mine aren't.

As a matter of policy from the beginning with our team, there have been three things we've said we won't draft a player: if they've been involved in domestic violence, drug abuse, or if they show lack of respect for authority.

The first draft often is really fast, and I'd be terribly ashamed if anybody ever saw it.

I've never really sought out publicity.

Some writers sit down without a thought of what they are going to say, and they go through draft after draft.

I was going to get drafted, but I didn't really want to go into the Army.

I never joined the army for patriotic reasons.

I had never made any plans beyond basketball.

The activities that went on at Camp King between 1946 and the late 1950s have never been fully accounted for by either the Department of Defense or the CIA.

I never set out to be a published writer.
