That taught me how to work harder. I learned all about mental toughness on the practice field. If things weren't working out for me in high school, in college, early in my pro career, my solution was always to work harder and internalize. That way, whenever I got an opportunity, I was always prepared. See, there are a lot of guys who are all talk. They say they want to work harder and be the best, but they never pay the price. I love paying the price.

If I feel anxious every time someone is staring at me, well, I can't control what they stare at, but my reaction is, I'm just not going to go outside the house. I'm going to stay in and chill. And when I do go out, I understand what comes along with that.

Is it going to make me feel any better to make an extra million? That million might be more important to the team.

I'm pretty chirpy. I can talk a little too much smack.

What strikes me most about Best Buddies International is the simplicity and magnitude of the mission. Friendship is a simple idea.

All I do is work out, oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating.

Some of the best motivation in life is trying to impress a girl.
