I'm just growing. Growing in faith and trying to better myself as a Christian and as a man.

I experienced different things growing up as a child that helped me. That helped mold me into the man that I am now, to the athlete that I am now.

I always was a guy that wanted to be liked. That wanted to be like everyone else, not really understanding that the platform that I had was different than others. Not really understanding that God expects more from his leaders that he does from people who are not really committed to Him.

Sometimes, you get kind of redundant by learning the same offense over and over again.

I just never had time to follow sports. When you're working as often as I was, eight shows a week, you just don't have time to develop interests outside of the theatre.

To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge.

When I was playing for tips in college, I felt a fire in my soul. I had the same principle of focus that I had learned playing football.

One of my beliefs is that there are certain institutions within a community which stand for the spirit and heart of that community, there's the church, the local football team, the local pub and the theatre.
