I definitely have come out of my shell a lot more. When you question who you are, you can't be proud of who you are. Now that I'm trying to peel off those layers and really understand who I am, I don't have anything to be shy about.

A team takes on the personality of the head coach.

I do feel like a loner but I think it's because I look at things differently than other people.

I love myself. Because I'm all that I have and if I don't love myself, no one else will. Whenever I feel myself starting to dislike something I tell myself, "This is who I am," so what's the point in disliking it?

I wouldn't eat a chicken if it dropped dead in front of me holding up a sign that said, Eat Me.

I look very foolish. To a lot of people I look foolish in what I'm doing and I understand that. The only thing that matters is how I feel and if I let how they feel affect me it'll change how I feel.

When I retired, I felt that I lived more in that year than I had the previous 27 years of my life.
