You can't always be the most talented person in the room. But you can be the most competitive

I haven't ever really had a goal to break that record or catch John Wooden.

Competition got me off the farm and trained me to seek out challenges and to endure setbacks; and in combination with my faith, it sustains me now in my fight with Alzheimer's disease.

Loyalty is not unilateral. You have to give it to receive it.

I'm interested to see where a combination of faith and science will take me.

I've got a great staff and great support system, and I'm going to stick my neck out and do what I always do.

The best way to handle responsibility is to break it down into smaller parts. Take care of one small thing at a time.
