- Childhood
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, being a writer was never a choice. I was born one. All through my childhood I wrote short stories and stuffed them in drawers. I wrote on everything. I didn't do my homework so I could write.
- Research
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
But with nonfiction, the task is very straightforward: Do the research, tell the story.
- Horse
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Books on horse racing subjects have never done well, and I am told that publishers had come to think of them as the literary version of box office poison.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
And at that point, I think my experience in covering the subject helped me. I think editors felt comfortable with the idea of me telling this story because I had demonstrated that I know this business pretty well.
- Nov 07, 2020
I've used a cellphone exactly twice. Things move on. The world changes. And I don't know it.
- Listen
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have to detach myself completely from aspirations. I hardly ever listen to music anymore because it arouses all of this yearning in me.
- Beautiful
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm looking for a way out of here. I can't have it physically, so I'm going to have it intellectually. It was a beautiful thing to ride Seabiscuit in my imagination. And it's just fantastic to be there alongside Louie as he's breaking the NCAA mile record. People at these vigorous moments in their lives - it's my way of living vicariously.
- Pain
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I got sick when I was 19, and I'd been a really healthy 19-year-old, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. Does it feel like the pain after you give birth? I don't know.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fatigue is what we experience, but it is what a match is to an atomic bomb.
- Disease
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This disease leaves people bedridden. I've gone through phases where I couldn't roll over in bed. I couldn't speak. To have it called 'fatigue' is a gross misnomer.
- Name
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most people, when they hear the disease name, it's all they know about it. It sounds so mild. When I first was sick, for the first 10 years or so, I was dismissed. I was ridiculed and told I was lazy. It was a joke.
- Loved
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was 8 years old when I went across the street from my house to a fair, and they always had a used book sale. For a quarter I bought a book called 'Come On Seabiscuit.' I loved that book. It stayed with me all those years.
- Freedom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
While it's really hard to do, at the same time, I'm escaping my body, which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story, into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life.
- Californians
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Louie and Seabiscuit were both Californians and both on the sports pages in the 1930s. I was fascinated. When I learned about his World War II experiences, I thought, 'If this guy is still alive, I want to meet him.'
- Overcome
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm attracted to subjects who overcome tremendous suffering and learn to cope emotionally with it.
- Never
