It's just the story of my career, really. I will have good weeks; I'll have bad weeks. It's just a roller-coaster.

I've been entertaining since I was kid.

I just have to go out there and play the right style of game and believe I can win.

For me, it's an easy way to make money. I'm just hitting a ball over a net. Of course, I've grown up with it. It's a part of me. It's all I really know how to do.

My own electorate, which I represented for 36 years as an anti-apartheid politician, had a considerable number of Jewish voters supporting me throughout my career.

Early in my business career I learned the folly of worrying about anything. I have always worked as hard as I could, but when a thing went wrong and could not be righted, I dismissed it from my mind.

Eventually I lost the idea that I could have a career. I thought I was too old.

If I waited to be inspired to go to the gym, I'd never get there. I schedule my exercise time; I schedule my work time. This is especially important if you have a day job as I did while writing my first seven novels.
