I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead, so it's always been something I look towards.

Designing a product and understanding how it filters through into the market and into the rest of the company is very important to me.

You know, when you go to high school or, you know, when kids are younger and there's not an understanding of differences. But I built up a very strong, thick skin.

The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'

All things being equal, people will do business with a friend; all things being unequal, people will still do business with a friend.

I want someone honest, someone who's very sweet to my family and friends, and polite to the other people around me.

I have a hard time not wearing my heart on my sleeve and answering people honestly. You know, my friends warn me that I should be more guarded 'cause sometimes I am too honest and open, but it's also just who I am.

Our philosophy precedes from the belief that sport is an inalienable part of the educational process and a factor for promoting peace, friendship, cooperation and understanding among peoples.
