When you do well in school as a young person you can foresee a bountiful future for yourself. When you don't do well, the future you see is bleak. It's tough to find an honour student in trouble with the law. We have to feel that we're of value and we get that from people reacting to our prudence.

Face your problems head on. Do what you have to do to take care of it. Develop a good work ethic.

I don't want to be constantly associated with tragedy. I think I'd like to be associated with the idea of 'hope'.

I think you reach your full potential by fighting often enough against varied types of opponents. This makes you a complete fighter.

My motivation has to do with what happened to my family. I want to help young people make important decisions at the most important time in their life. If I didn't do this, it would be like my kids died in vain. I want to help them make the right decisions.

So many things we do as young people are things we have to live with as older people.
