I try to think about my goals. I think about my competitors-I know they're working hard, and if they are, I have to work hard too. I have to be one step ahead of them.

I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

Miracles happen, lyrical inhalation of poetry, you will not stop my words from breathing.

I've learned that the only things we are in control of are the choices we make at any one given moment.

It’s a law of survival, isn’t it?—to seek the best. I didn’t come for your sake. I came for mine.

I write four or five a books a year. That means that I usually have one on the go. I am fortunate in being able to write quickly - 1000 words an hour.

In fact, sometimes when I look at something my memory does work. I remember the panel where Alex Toth told me, "Mike, if you really don't understand all that, you don't need to put it on there."

Amelia Earhart, who said, Stop looking for me; see if you can find my luggage! Never got a dinner!
