I get up at 5.30am, sluice myself and have two Weetabix and some mint tea, before starting to write by 6am.
I grew up in a house where service to the country was a way of life, not a means of reaching a personal goal.
People stopped me on the street and said 'I can't live up to you.' Of course, they're referring to June Cleaver.
Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths.
I was one of those guys who never wanted to start their own business. I never saw myself as a leader. I saw myself as a great No. 2.
In terms of role modelling for younger kids, I never really censor myself.
And as I started reaching deeper I realized that most of the blues of that day was done by men. Women just didn't have the nerve.
We were taught manners and we had to do our chores - Katie and I grew up as normal kids.
When I write a book, I write a book for myself; the reaction is up to the reader. It's not my business whether people like or dislike it.
