“I read a lot of books, as you might imagine, and they all affect me. I recently read “A Man Called Ove” [by Fredrik Backman] and it’s about really living your life for today, so that’s been a really good one. Another good one that I have to mention is “Everything Matters” by Ron Currie, and that’s about a kid who is born and as a baby knows that the world is going to end and he knows the date that it’s going to end and how it’s going to end. And he just lives knowing that. That’s a really beautiful book. So they’re kind of similar. I think they’re similar in that both main characters live their lives very deeply, in a fulfilling way.”
