I am currently reading Gideon Haigh's "On Warne". As expected, Haigh does utmost justice to his subject. Thought I should replicate verbatim the following lines from the book which struck a chord within me :
"Warne is perhaps a little unusual in always seeming so ready to be famous, so comfortable with the limelight, so accepting of reading about, talking about and watching himself. But once habituated to attention, eh apparently shared the sensations of Andre Agassi, who said that what struck him about fame was how normal it was: 'I marvel at how unexciting it is to be famous, how mundane famous people are. They're confuse, uncertain, insecure and often hate what they do. It's something we always hear - like that old adage that money can't buy happiness - but we never believe it until we see it for ourselves.' Warne was luckier than most, in that he loved what he did. And no wonder: it was always there for him."
