I was never the biggest kid or the best looking kid or the most popular kid, but that's not all it takes. Sometimes you turn those weaknesses into strengths and wear it like a badge and see what it does.

When I hear about something that's hot, I back away from it. So I go and discover the stuff I wasn't paying attention to five years ago.

I'm identifying with the underdog. And it makes totally sense to me.
