I don't care about people kissing my ass or telling me how great I am. I don't really give a damn. I read the bad stuff a whole lot more than I read the good stuff. I read that because there are always going to be critics who are going to say how good you aren't.

The success doesn't define you. The success isn't what gave you the edge in the first place. The failure didn't give me the edge, either.

Sometimes you have to be somebody you're not.

A lot of people have been asking whether I would ever go into politics. I'm not sure I would.

Work hard and believe in yourself even when nobody else believes in you.

There are a lot of things my mother taught me and helped me and disciplined me and made sure I stayed on the right track. And there are a ton of things that only my father could have taught me.

But people find it easy to take shots on Twitter, and to use racial slurs and bullying language far worse than what you'll see from me. It's sad and somewhat unbelievable to me that the world is still this way, but it is. I can handle it.
