"I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster; I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear."

"Ask anyone on Social Security if their check comes on time every month. Like clockwork. And it comes through the so-called dilapidated U. S. mail. My dad's check literally will come on the same day every month. The government has been quite good and efficient at creating a number of systems."

"I've seen fathers criticizing their sons the moment a game's over. Not my dad. It doesn't matter if I threw an interception or a Hail Mary, he always says, 'Good job, son, I'm proud of you.' Then he shakes my hand and gives me a hug. Every time."
