Injuries made me a believer in cross-training.

I know what I have to do, and I'm going to do whatever it takes. If I do it, I'll come out a winner, and it doesn't matter what anyone else does.

The main reason I wanted to be successful was to get out of the ghetto. My parents helped direct my path.

When you first get a hill in sight, look at the top of it only once. Then imagine yourself at the bottom of the other side.

I don't look at myself as being famous. I look at myself as an athlete. If the money is there, I'd be happy, but I have to be happy within myself first.

Nothing is going to be handed to you -- you have to make things happen.

When anyone tells me I can't do anything, I'm just not listening anymore.
