“It's mentally tough when you know the winger you're coming up against ...” — Ben White Quote

It's mentally tough when you know the winger you're coming up against is going to be quicker than you but it's about working out how you can best be yourself and win. You need to find something that is going to stop them.

Relationships will get you far in this industry. It's about how you move and how you act. Just be yourself.

You just got to be yourself. That's what people respect more than anything.

You can be plain and smart, or pretty and smart. You can even be plain and dumb! You just have to be yourself.

In a way, the most political thing you can do is be yourself.
