I work out hard, and I do things that I feel make me better throughout the race and after the race. And I feel better mentally because of working out, being prepared and being in great shape.

Get your education. The number of guys who are blessed to be in the league is so small compared to the number of high school players [who want to play in the league].

We have gone for decades now with no immigration plan. Now we have one. It's a common sense immigration plan that has proven to work.

You get in on your ability to speak English, and you get in on your ability to hold a job and work a job and produce an income.
