For you to get me to the ground, you have to get a hold of my body, and not many people do that very well. If I get taken down, I get taken down to the wall.

There comes a time in every athlete's life, where the scenarios change and the landscape has eroded from what made you fall in love with it initially.

I feel like I'm pretty damn good. I feel like I get better and better.

I'm a lifelong competitor.

I always think when it comes to something athletic or intellectual, like chess-matchwise, I can hold my own.

No matter what the time of day, I always make time to be with my horses. They ground me and insist I keep it real.

No man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property.

I realized that everything important in sci-fi showed up in the magazines first. It's the proving ground for new writers and new ideas.

Everything that I can do to ground the story in reality helps make it harder for people to be dismissive of it.

I will work hard on the training ground and hopefully do what I can to the best of my ability. The rest will take care of itself.
