I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn't work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running.

When I went to high school, an all-boys' school, a Catholic school, I tried out for football, and I didn't make it. It was the first time, athletically, that I was knocked down.

I studied Shakespeare all through high school. Both of my parents teach English and history, so it has always been around my experience as a young man.

I dated a lot of girls all through high school, and in college I dated a young lady for about eight months.

I played football and ran track in junior high, but by high school I was getting serious about my studies.

I ran track for my school. I played football, but I didn't play for my high school; I played for a little league team.
