Believing that no one is better than the other. You know I grew up in the South. My senior year there was a very big racial tension.

My God given talent is my ability to stick with training longer than anybody else.

As a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.

Growing up, I started developing confidence in what I felt. My parents helped me to believe in myself. I wasn't the best looking guy, I wasn't the best athlete in the world, but they made me feel good about myself.

If you dedicate yourself to something, you can achieve it. It's simple, but it's true, and your age is just an excuse.

My favorite subject probably was math. I love math. I think figures just intrigue me. I was really good at math. English probably was my worst subject, but I used to write a lot of poetry. I used to write poetry all the time.

I'd usually read the Bible a lot. Read little short Bible stories. And today, whenever I give speeches, I bring up a few of those Bible stories, because those are inspirations to me.
