My grandfather died before I was born, so I never had the chance to speak with him about his father. But I learned about him from books.

I was always the slightly fat kid, which used to bother me quite a bit.

Even before I really started, no one said I would make it. But I always had belief.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I'm not a 'Star Wars' geek.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.
