The beautiful thing about when you go through a slide is that you learn from it. Not just saying that you learn from it, but applying the things that you have learned.

I'm not the type of person to give up just because something gets rough. That's a coward. That's not me.

I've never been an individual guy. I never cared about the accolades. I've always been driven by the competition and the learning process.

This is it. It's for all the marbles. I'm sitting in the house loading up the pump, I'm loading up the Uzis, I've got a couple of M-16s, couple of nines, couple of joints with some silencers on them, couple of grenades, got a missile launcher. I'm ready for war.
