Growing up, I really liked 'Star Wars.' Han Solo would've been really cool to meet. But my stuff was real low-brow. I was watching 'Bugs Bunny.'

Look at pictures of me growing up. It wasn't always the way it is now. It was a bumpy road for me.

I am just enjoying my youth but I want to settle down eventually.

For the youth, the indignation of most things will just surge as each birthday passes.

In sports, you get disqualified if you violate the rules, but in Ukrainian politics, no standards are at work.

Once I got a bit older, and we could see there could be a future in football, it was everyone's blessing to chase that dream. And it did me a lot of good: It put me through college, it gave me an education, it got me a little taste of pro ball and a lot of good memories. I don't regret any of it.

I want to be a professional athlete who plays for the love of the game, never quits trying to give my best and is a good role model for all of the kids who look up to baseball players.

When I first started designing sportswear, I felt that women weren't represented in sports performance. I felt that men were dressed really well both technically and visually, and women were almost like an afterthought.
