It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go.

I like to call the ethos I grew up with 'Oklahoma values.' But you'd be just as accurate if you said 'American values.' Except for our lack of a seacoast, Oklahoma has a little bit of just about everything that's American.

I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I'm growing as a person of faith, as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things - being tenacious about it.

Individual responsibility, hard work, paying attention in school, faith, family all these things are important.

Everything I am I owe to my faith and secondly to parents who were old school.
