The greatest gift you can give someone is the space to be his or herself, without the threat of you leaving.

I've never competed in powerlifting. But my goals weren't to be a powerlifter. My goals were to pack on size and get big, big, big.

For me I'm natural not because somebody else believes I'm natural, I'm natural because I don't use steroids, I don't use growth hormone, I don't use any of those enhancers. I'm natural in my own right because I don't do that and not because other people accept the fact that I'm natural or not.

I think that everything should be a stepping stone for something bigger and better and if there is something bigger then why not go on after it?

I think your posing and your onstage presentation is yet another piece of the craft. So anytime you get onstage to show the muscles and show the finished work, that should be looked at with the same kind of respect and appreciation. I'm glad everybody else appreciates it, but I still want to get better.

The person with the biggest dreams is more powerful than the person with all the answers.

If you don't believe you can do something then you can't.
