I wanted to be a professional drummer.
Tough times go away, tough people do not.
Most important thought, if you love someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
If you could go back and change things, you might not be the person you are right now.
I am happy to say that everyone that I have met in my life, I have gained something from them; be it negative or positive, it has enforced and reinforced my life in some aspect.
Work hard or don’t work at all.
If I’m going to get hit, why let the guy who’s going to hit me get the easiest and best shot? I explode into the guy who’s trying to tackle me.
Remember, tomorrow is promised to no one.
When you speak of role models, when we talk to our kids, everybody is a role model, everyone, just as you look at a Michael Jordan to be the terrific athlete he is.
We are stronger together than we are alone.
Running alone is the toughest. You get to the point where you have to keep pushing yourself.
I developed my training routine going into my senior year at Jackson State. I found this sandbank by the Pearl River near my hometown, Columbia, Miss. I laid out a course of 65 yards or so. Sixty-five yards on sand is like 120 on turf, but running on sand helps you make your cuts at full speed.
All people, regardless of whether they’re athletes or not, should treat people the way they want to be treated.
If you forget your roots, you’ve lost sight of everything.
If you ask me how I want to be remembered, it is as a winner.
I don’t have to jump up and smile just because TV wants me to.
A lot of fans were drawn to me because they knew that whatever the score was, I was going to run as hard as I could on every play. You don’t have that now, you have guys waiting for next week or even next year.
Money isnt everything. Do you get married because of money? Do you have kids because of money?
God’s been very good to me. I’m truly blessed.
I try to run on the hottest days, at the hottest time, because that’s the most difficult time. And sometimes I worry about drying out, and dying.
