I have a lot of growing up to do, or a lot of growing down. I think that's probably more appropriate.

It took me ten minutes to write this very sentence. I'm no writer. This is not my calling.

I have no control over people's perceptions of me at all and that's one of the things I decided very early on is that I can't control the way other people think of me. All I can do, especially when it comes to my career is go out there and do cool unique kinds of things.

I hope I'm remembered as the king of the world, the noble man who united all the nations of the earth. But that probably won't happen.

It's only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave him for your own career and your own home - it's only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. Pride reinforces love.

I want to have my career, not sit on the bench. I want to work hard, to push myself. I want to play.

I just appreciate still having the longevity that I've had in my career.

I've fully accepted the fact that if I'm going to do a career like this, I have to be willing to take criticism, because it's a part of the job, you know? Any Instagram thing I post, someone's going to say something. I know that. Anything on Twitter, someone's going to judge whatever I do, whatever I say, whatever I look like. I understand that.
