I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.

I went to Morocco joined a band called Pegasus ran out of money went to Gibraltar and worked on the docks writing songs about the sun and the morning and the birds.

I had someone call me this morning telling me they had somebody who would only work a certain number of hours a week because if they worked too many hours a week then they couldn't get their government assistance. And that person has multiple cell phones and gets them new every month with new minutes.

On the 28th the ship's company received two months pay in advance and on the following morning we worked out to St. Helen's where we were obliged to anchor.

The problem with growing up in a cafe was the cafe never closed my parents worked every day of the year from morning to night. So it was a big menagerie of kids business and cooking!

Because my parents growing up they worked hard. Everyone in my family woke up early in the morning. I used to see my mother and my father go off to work and come back and no matter what they had time for the kids.

I had to get up run in the morning for 2 hours go to the gym and also get good opponents as sparring partners because I'm a big believer in that how you train is how you will fight at least when it came to me that's how it worked.

In my day at 12 years old which was 38 years ago we worked out in summer months for two and a half hours. Today someone in that age group might work out for four hours two hours in the morning and two at night.

It only worked for a little while the morning after I agreed to go with Universal an article came out in the Hollywood trade papers and the secret was out.

I worked at Salon.com way back when they started and there's just unmeasurable value to distributing words online too but I still get my news from the newspaper in the morning.
