P.E. was my life in school. Without it, I wouldn't be standing here. It gave me confidence when I was an overweight kid with a speech impediment.

Because my parents, growing up, they worked hard. Everyone in my family woke up early in the morning. I used to see my mother and my father go off to work, and come back and, no matter what, they had time for the kids.

My message is, you can accomplish anything, not just on the athletic field, if you're willing to work pay the price. It doesn't matter what your age.

I was a fat little kid with a speech impediment. I used to get beat up, not just picked on.

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.

The hardest thing I had to overcome in life? I think racism. That's so difficult because I don't think anyone can ever understand it. It's not that people don't want to understand it, but they don't want to touch it.

SUCCESS is being able to come home, lay your head on the pillow and SLEEP in PEACE.
