I've spent several years now with my head down.

I remember, in my senior year, one of my teachers taking me aside and saying: 'You look really tired.' This was when I was being a bad kid and she knew that something was wrong.

A short saying often contains much wisdom.

The last thing my father told me was: 'On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don't let me down.' A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.

I keep my head down, my mouth shut and work hard.

Any time you stick your neck out in high school, there's someone right there to chop your head off.

At my house, it's an, 'If dad says it, you can say it' kind of deal, so a lot of my slang words come off very childish at this point in my career.

When I feel confused or depressed, I remember back to junior high and I silently repeat, 'This, too, shall pass.'

To be a head boy, you have to be very clever, you have to be a scholar, and I was never a scholar in any shape or form.
