Every year I want to experience something that makes me say, "this is the best day of my life."

Be someone's best friend and be there when he or she needs you.

People ask me why I work so hard and why I have this compassion to reach the top and be great. I respond by telling them, "I work insanely hard because people said I couldn't do it." When someone tells me I can't do something, or that I'll never achieve my goals and visions, I am determined to prove them wrong.

The most important job you will ever have is your commitment to a promise you made to someone.

When I tell people that I'm vegan, the first question asked is, 'How do you get enough protein?' This immediately tells me that they are uneducated and know little or nothing about nutrition.

If you want it to be, your heart can be your biggest and most powerful muscle in your body.

As a vegan body-builder I want to show others that it is possible to gain significant muscle and strength on a vegan diet and I want to inspire others to follow this lifestyle. I love being vegan and knowing that I am having a positive impact on our society.
