“If you ain’t putting the people around you on and giving them the strength, confidence, courage, beliefs, and love to be GREAT then what you here for!”

I need music. It’s like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what’s going on – bad games, press, whatever!

As athletes, it’s no longer just about being the strongest, fastest, toughest, it’s so so so important to take that time for your mind and mental well-being.

I’m a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.

I’m going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.

She controls the music when she rides with me.

I’m not afraid of nothing, I just like the challenge, and I love being here.

Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.

What we do in every other area of our lives (other than religion), is, rather than respect somebody’s beliefs, we evaluate their reasons.

Hello new world, how’s it going? I’m here to wreck everything.

We learn our belief systems as very little children, and then we move through life creating experiences to match our beliefs. Look back in your own life and notice how often you have gone through the same experience.

It is difficult to imagine a set of beliefs more suggestive of mental illness than those that lie at the heart of many of our religious traditions.

I’m interested to see where a combination of faith and science will take me.
