Quote

I come from a line of self-motivated, determined folk - not grand, not high society, but no-nonsense, family-minded go-getters.

My sense of personal strength has always come from my family.

The reality is that I surround myself with very smart, very strong people - including my ex-wives.

A big part of who I am is just the way I was raised. Nobody is better than anyone else, and if you really work hard, you might get lucky and get what you want.

My family is my strength and my weakness.

Growing up, when I was younger, I didn't feel all that tough or smart or strong. As I got older, I was able to discover my own strength.

And partly, the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.

I've been strong and determined all my life about many things I've wanted.

I'm a diligent person, and that came directly from having hardworking parents.

People that I know, the vast majority, who are successful work really, really hard. Sure, there's some people that either get lucky or inherited it or don't have to work hard for some reason, but the vast majority who are successful work really, really hard.
