The Marines gave me a really strong sense of discipline and a work ethic that kicks in at my job.
Even when people are rich and successful on TV shows, there's always some trouble - you have to poke holes in them, throw them out of a job, put a pie in the face.
But sports photography isn't something you just pick up overnight. You can't do it once a year for fun and expect to do a good job. And I take pride in what I do.
In any other job, they're truck drivers. In show-biz, they're Transportation Captains.
I remember when I took a temp job... so I got a job at a department store. Something temporary to put on my resume, my parents said. Yeah... till I die!
Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called everybody, and they meet at the bar.
Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan. They'd all fit more under the Libertarian label than the modern day Republican label.
TV is easier: it's all planned out for you and the audience is there to see a show and they are all pumped up but when you are in a comedy club, you have to be really funny to win them over.
'The Price Is Right,' it was an honor to be offered it because it's such an American institution. To be able to carry on this tradition with a show that has been on for so long, I thought it was a great opportunity for me.
Being a celebrity, you always get really good seats to sporting events, but you never get as good seats as the photographers get. And I really love sports.
When the show's in production, we work for three weeks at a time and then take a week off.
They keep commenting on how amazingly mature everyone is,
That's the great thing about having your friends around you, ... I've known these guys forever. I really enjoy their company just as people. You couldn't ask for a better work environment.
If frogs could fly - well, we'd still be in this mess, but wouldn't it be neat?
