I didn't love school because I wanted to disguise that I was poorer than everybody else. So when I was a teen I reached out in a wrong way. I started to be a mugger, to rob people in the streets, just to supply for my needs.

That's my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck's back. If it's not positive, I didn't hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy.

My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.

I know from experience that you should never give up on yourself or others, no matter what.

Without appreciation and respect for other people, true leadership becomes ineffective, if not impossible.

I look at my children and one thing I'm most proud of, in my heart, are my children.

As a matter of fact, there was a period of time, especially in my first career, when that's the only one who would work out with me: my dogs. As you get better and better working out, there's no one who can keep up with you running.
