I don't care what people think about me because I know I am more than all the pain and strife they hold inside.
I think it's very easy for people to stereotype athletes, good and bad.
I don't think I'll ever be able to stay in one place for more than a year or two. It's not in my nature,
Everywhere I go, I hear 'Welcome back.' But everywhere I have been, I have always been with myself. I'm with myself now more than ever. It's funny people say 'Welcome back' when I haven't gone anywhere.
The money is what made me miserable. I want to be free of that stress.
As human beings we have a tendency when we like something to tie it up and make sure it's there for a long time. I've been working on being able to let things go. I don't think I ever want to buy property again.
There's nothing I miss about anything in the whole wide world. The idea of missing something means you're not living in the moment. Every moment is good for something.
People are hungry because they're eating empty foods. Mine are full, and so am I.
I do feel like a loner but I think it's because I look at things differently than other people.
Growing up with two sisters, you either play by yourself or play Barbie with them. I played by myself.
I'm nice because, when I was growing up, so many people weren't nice to me, and I remember how that felt. And I don't want to make anyone else feel like that. I value nice.
I've never been in trouble with the police.
One thing I've learned about life is that if you really let go, it's just a joy ride.
There's more to life than success, and if you can try to be more well-rounded, you'll be able to enjoy your success more. It won't own you or control you.
