You'd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it.

Time made me change. I gradually woke up to the realization that this is who I am, an author, a public figure, and I couldn't just hide in my study, tapping away at the keyboard and pretend that I didn't have a role to play beyond stringing words together. ↗
