"No matter how good you get you can always get better and that's the exciting part."
"One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people's expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations..."
"My dad has always taught me these words: care and share."
"If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about."
"There’s nothing wrong with having your goals really high and trying to achieve them. That’s the fun part. You may come up short. I’ve come up short on a lot on my goals, but it’s always fun to try and achieve them."
