“ Everybody has to have a personal philosophy of how you live your life. ”

“ Motivation to me vis three things. Three things I try to do each day. ”

“ Family, religion Rutgers basketball. All eyes on me. I got it. ”

“ If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special. ”

“ Time is very precious to me. I don't know how much I have left and I have some things that I would like to say. ”

“ That's me, I don't like when people ask me how many weeks off we get before we start to work, that's me. Maybe I am wrong but that's just how I am. ”

“ Never give up! Failure and rejection are only the first step to succeeding. ”

“ Be a dreamer. If you don't know how to dream, you're dead. ”

“ And I'm going to work as hard as I can for cancer research and hopefully, maybe, we'll have some cures and some breakthroughs. ”

“ If you have someone with a dream, if you have a motivated person with a goal and a vision, if you have someone that never gives up, who has great hope, Anything can happen. ”
