Anyone with an ailment or who wears glasses or anyone slightly different suddenly wears a bull's eye. I think that dodgeball derailed an entire generation of Americans. It's the true red menace.

The internet has a way of mainstreaming everything. Any artist, any musician, any sexual kink, any political view point, it's all there.

Words are a big deal to me. I'm verbal and visual and I'm always struggling to find a way to smash those two parts of my cerebral cortex together. Sometimes it works, sometimes it feels mentally disjunctive.

Don't listen to what people tell you, there are always doubters. Work hard, believe in yourself, and believe in your ability and just work hard.

I learned to never quit, and academics always come first. I had to make sure to get my degree, because I learned that athletic ability and sports don't last forever.

Before I came along, my field was dominated by myth, superstition, deceit, and outright fraud. I overcame it by the simple application of logical thinking.

We all have different athletic strengths, but I bring a mentality, a physical toughness, an attitude, that they do not have, that helps me with the athleticism.
