I've never felt influenced by Ernest Hemingway though I suppose there is something inevitable there.
I love when people underestimate me and then become pleasantly surprised.
To use a word I never thought I'd apply to myself, I've sort of become a Luddite with regard to information. Where everyone else is getting their Twitter feeds from 'The New York Times' and their 'Huffington Post' emails, I live in a little bit of a bubble.
