I've always been a leader. I've always kind of been the tallest person on the team when I was younger but always kind of the smartest. I was ahead of my time. I wasn't always the oldest, I kind of was the youngest on the team, but, I kind of knew what to do at times.

I'm just a little kid from Akron.

I do have motivation. A lot of motivation.

I can't worry about what other people say.

I'm not afraid of nothing, I just like the challenge, and I love being here.

I'm going to be one of the top four that's ever played this game, for sure. And if they don't want me to have one of those top four spots, they'd better find another spot on that mountain. Somebody's gotta get bumped, but that's not for me to decide. That's for the architects.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.
