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

Coming from a small town it was tough to dream big. When I grew up in a small town in Georgia, my biggest dream was one day to be able to go to Atlanta.

When I feel good about myself, things start happening for myself. When you look up, you go 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 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.

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

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.
