I'm all about accessing our resources; I'm all about those jobs. But I want to make sure I'm not expensing one for the other.

I have never once asked Alaskans to like how I got this job.

I've been working to make sure that we've got adequate transportation. I've been working to make sure that we can afford energy within our villages and in our communities.

A lot of times, professional athletes say, 'I'm not a role model; I'm an athlete.' I don't mind being a role model because I know what I've done in order to make it to where I am right now. It's a lot of hard work; it's a tremendous amount of hard work. But in order to be make it to a certain level, everybody knows it's going to take time.

With TV, it's the same way as preparing for the game of football. To get better at football, you have to watch the film and watch those who came before you and played the game, and yes, the first year you come in as a rookie and you're not gonna be as good as when you come in as a vet, and I applied that in the same way to 'Ton of Cash.'

There's a fine line between playing through things and sitting out. I was always on the side of, 'I'm going to play through it.'

Now that I look back, mentally it makes you tougher.

In high school I was the manager of the football team, so being around boys is natural to me!
