My dad told me when I went into high school, 'It's not what you do when you walk in the door that matters. It's what you do when you walk out.' That's when you've made a lasting impression.

I tell them how what matters is becoming the best you can be at whatever you're doing.
You reach a certain point in your life where they things you do and say do make a difference.

My mother told me, 'Always do your best,' and my dad says, 'It's important to be humble. That's the key. They're not there for you. You're there for them.'
My parents always told me, 'Do what you love because that is what you will do well in.' They told me to make sure that you are happy.
You look up to your parents and you want them to accept you, and you don't want them to look at you in a negative light. So you do things to make them proud and accept you.
You can say whatever you want; it doesn't matter. It doesn't faze me. I'll still go out and do what I have to do, whether that's making A's in the classroom or doing well on the field.
You drive past your old high school, and even if everybody treated you terribly, you still go take a look, don't you?
My parents are pretty good about keeping me humble. They brought me up good.
My father always said, 'Do your best and piss on the rest.' And I think there's a lot of truth to that, because if you've done your best, there's not a hell of a lot more you can do about something.
