I love football, football is my life.

Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not.

I just hate losing and that gives you an extra determination to work harder.

I just don't like talking about my relationships or anything like that, in any reference.

Roe v. Wade was bad law and bad medical science.

Too much of our lives corresponds to the 'lost-wallet' theory of life. You lose something, spend a long time finding it, and then feel grateful to be back where you started.

I love the expression 'makes your skin crawl,' because when you have that sensation while you're watching something, it really does.

Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
