“I was in a coma for a long time and in and out of the hospital for a year. For sure, when I'm in a fight and having a hard time, I think back to that time because that was the worst.

“Things happen. And good things happen, and bad things happen. And I'm a person - I'm a believer that everything happens for a reason.”

“I don't want to be known for bad things in life, ever. I should be known for my work. People should love me for my work.”

“There's a lot of bad things going on but I didn't do nothing.”
