I see so many people who don't want to try, and I say 'I don't care what I ever do, I never give up at anything anymore.' I don't care what it is, you'll never see me give up.

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.

Lets not push it under the rug, or push it to the side because, no matter what, it's going to keep coming up. You know, if you never deal with that dirt up under the carpet, it's going to get larger and larger, and it's going to keep coming up.

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.

I was determined to make Renaissance Man Food Services and Herschel's Famous 34 major players in a very tough industry.

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

I always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid. I just love competing in any kind of athletics.
