Education is an incredibly personal issue for me. If you're the first generation to go to college, sometimes you don't realize your potential until others point it out.

I bossed my middle sister around all the time.

I am a simple creature.

My public school teachers did a great job of saying, 'Check this out. You're qualified for this. You should explore these opportunities.' They're the ones who said, 'You know, apply to Harvard. You might be a good fit here.'

I just think that philanthropy is a fancy way to say that you care about others and that you want to serve others. And that's been a part of me for as long as I can remember.

My parents were in high school and college in the '80s, so let's just say I've heard some stuff, man. We listen to a lot of music and watch lots of great films, but the real context they provide from that era is about politics.

I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years.

My life, even as a college student, has all been through the NCAA, and I'm telling you there's so much good that comes out of it.

I wasn't as good as some of these guys coming into high school, going into college. I really had to grind to get my position, even still now. I'm still doing the same thing.
