When you raise kids, you want them to grow up and be successful. If they can grow up and be like you, it's quite flattering.

Life should be fun, and so should your clothes. It's not about sending a message. It's about feeling good about yourself and being who you are.

What fuels my optimism is just an appreciation for life. I wake up every day thankful to be alive. I certainly have a lot to live for - not only personally, but all those people I'm fighting for, and to be with my kids, my wife Stacy, to see them grow and be a part of it. I'm certainly by no means ready to give up or cash in.

I really can't tell other people how to live their life or how to approach different things. What I can tell them - and I truly believe this, I don't think it's being naïve and I don't think it's being in denial - I really believe that the way you think influences the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act.

I'm just always trying to be positive. Negative things happen to everybody. Everyone has to face obstacles. Everybody has to face hurdles. It's what you do with those that determines how successful you're going to be.

Hope is not just... out in the sky, or not accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.
