I think it's very important to teach your children to struggle on some level.

I'm never going to struggle but I definitely want to make more money, we all do.

I know for certain people I'm championing a struggle that they're going through.

You never want to see a guy struggle. And we've all struggled. It's part of the game.

Life is not a struggle. It's a wiggle.
