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.

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

I couldn't wait until I grew up. I used to look at my mom's stockings and put them on with her high heels and mess with my hair.

I've always overworked in the weight room. I love working with weights. I knew they'd give me the strength I needed.

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

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.
