We had maybe the greatest success of any company that I know of in Paris and after two or three years I wanted to do this same number that we did for PBS so we did it and Paris had always considered us their darlings.

I think all of us certainly believed the statistics which said that probably 88% chance of mission success and maybe 96% chance of survival. And we were willing to take those odds.

Which is - you know like check it out I'm pretty young I'm only about 40 years old. I still have maybe another four decades of work left in me. And it's exceedingly likely that anything I write from this point forward is going to be judged by the world as the work that came after the freakish success of my last book right?

I don't dwell on success. Maybe that's one reason I'm successful.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to and maybe the first time you do it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.

Focus on your problem zones your strength your energy your flexibility and all the rest. Maybe your chest is flabby or your hips or waist need toning. Also you should change your program every thirty days. That's the key.

If I was invincible maybe I would take up some extreme sports.

I told another ESPN friend here I love all sports. I can't think of any I don't love. I've even come to appreciate cricket. Maybe I could play a sportswriter. I don't know. Anything in the sports realm is appealing.

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know.

I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead so it's always been something I look towards.
