I don't want to compare myself to anyone else, but there's Paul Smith, who I think does a great job. I feel like once I sort everything to the best quality, I'll be able to compete with them.

Literally, my job is I make socks. That's all I do.

I don't think people truly know what I have done or that I've actually had a regular job.

I won state cross-country competitions several times during high school.

I like to give kids motivation and tell them my story.

The people who have been unjustly disenfranchised by our criminal justice system and the people who daily fight for them always have, and always will be, the inspiration and focus of my efforts.

You wonder, 'How could it possibly be me?' Well, of course it could happen to you. You have it. Then, of course, you wake up every morning, and you hope it's a bad dream. Then you wake up. I have cancer.

I know career motivation and encouragement up the ladder of success have their place in the world. But I don't want them anywhere near my spirituality.
