You always learn from your mistakes.

My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.

A lot of times when you go through a very traumatic situation and it's emotionally difficult to deal with you come back spiritually stronger. It changes you in a way.

By no means because I am a World Champion will I ever stop learning and that’s the biggest thing that’s difficult for someone to see.

I would have to agree, that I'm probably more intense than Brian or Kurt, competitive because, I was always like this, always being that way, always real competitive.

I always push forward. It doesn't mean that I'll be perfect. I make mistakes -- but I learn from my mistakes, and move on.
