I feel like there's no such thing as failure. When something doesn't go the way I want it to, I learn from it, and I accomplish more than I initially expected to.

I look at failure as the fertilizer to success.

Friends may come and go, but barbecues accumulate.

You're whatever you think you are. People like to compartmentalize other people. I don't worry about what other people think. I'm not living for them.

Acting has helped me detox in football. Getting lost in a character and a scene, it's awesome.

I had a great family. My father was in the Air Force, so we were always disciplined, goal oriented.

When I'm 75 years old, I want to say that I chased my dream. I didn't let other people's opinions dictate what I have in my book of my life.
