A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'

These times are so hard, and they're getting even harder.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

It sometimes feels like a strange movie, you know, it's all so weird that sometimes I wonder if it is really happening.

I've said many times in the past that my career's not going to go on much longer; I'm not going to keep going and riding until I'm in my 30s and things like this.

I am excited to partner with American Swan and to be able to connect with the youth and inspire them to chase their dreams and script their destinies.

I have goals and aspirations, and I believe that you can go after your dreams, and it can work if you have someone there that's supporting you.

I grew up a skinny kid with a funny last name and coke bottle glasses, so I experienced my fair share of bullies. But I learned, with the help of humor and resilience, to never give up.
