I knew I could control one thing, and that is my time and my hours and my effort and my efficiency.

It's in my blood to be on the radio every day. I've done it since I was 16 years old.

Mine's a pretty simple strategy: there's not a lot of talent here, but there's a lot of hustle. I have to be in every place I can, and be busy.

We now have contestants who will not let anything get in their way of victory. Some contestants have thrown each other under the bus this season.

Without someone giving you a shot, opening a door, believing that your obsession is a real thing when you're young, you don't get the opportunity. Every single day I'm reminded of that.

I find each project, although it's compartmentalized, informs me in some facet. I wake up everyday wanting to be informed.

I hope I can help guys come out and say, 'All right, dude, I got a manicure...and I liked it.'
