I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light.

I think what creates a winner is a person who can connect with their partner - another human being.. connect with their soul

Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.

I've never been one to run from a challenge.

What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what's thrown at me, I can take it. And I can keep going.

All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice.

Look at it! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, man! Let me go out there and let me get one wave, just one wave before you take me in. I mean, come on man, where I am I gonna go? Cliffs on both sides! I'm not gonna paddle my way to New Zealand! Come on, compadre. Come on!
