If I put my name on something, I'm going to be involved. I'm not just going to put my name on it and not pay attention.

I've hung out and dated people I've never even met before.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

So many people are insanely busy nowadays, and it's easy to say, 'Ah, I'll workout tomorrow.' But you have to set aside a time and stick to that schedule.

For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.

When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.

I'm a New Yorker now, and believe me, there's no comparison between the Big Apple and Kalamazoo, no similarity at all. New York City's hectic, always in fast-forward, and Kalamazoo's more laid-back, smaller, slower.
