Too many people have a wonderful dream and just talk about it rather than do something about it.

I love making people smile. I get so much energy through interacting and feeling like I've made a difference, a small difference.

I get very excited when I wake up in the morning and I am just full of oxygen. I say that purposefully. I try not to take for granted how lucky we are to have life and breath and opportunity. Once we've got that, we can conquer anything. Truly, I get high on oxygen, and once I graduate from that, what really fulfills me is doing what I love. That, to me, is absolutely priceless.
