I don't feel intimidated by any of the people I'm talking to or the situations I find myself in. I just try to make my nana proud.

Last year people won more than one billion dollars playing poker. And casinos made twenty-seven billion just by being around those people.

Don't judge me. I made a lot of money.

Kids do have to learn that life is a humiliating charade of endless disappointment and tragedy ultimately culminating in pain, decay, and death. My parents used to sing me to sleep with that one.

I talked to the team a lot about staying power. You never find out if you have that until you've been beaten down a few times.
