My dad was not one of these stereotypical military people - buzz-cut, rah-rah-rah.
I lead by example. But if I get pissed enough, I'll say something. It usually isn't rah-rah; it's more complaining.
My problem is I can think whatever I think—girl power, solidarity, Gloria Steinem rah rah rah — but I still feel the way I feel. Which is jealous. And pissy about little things.
I'm certainly not a baby kissing, hand slapping, rah rah good guy. I definitely think there's more of an edge to my character.
The thing about awards is that a lot of those moments are about the whole world telling you that you deserve it and rah, rah, rah. I'm very appreciative of that, but I love experiencing stuff by myself. Because it feels different. You know the truth, and you can hear what the voice in your head is saying properly.
Music was a way of rebelling against the whole rah-rah high school thing.
I hope I just show women that its OK to inhabit your own body. Im not a rah-rah feminist. But its important to me that people see you can be an athlete and be strong-and also be a girl.
I'm a rah, rah guy's guy. I like to talk about sports and put people in headlocks.
I'm trying to see, in high school or college, I've never been like, 'Rah! Rah!' kind of guy. It's always been just, 'All right.'
I think our team kind of strives on weirdness sometimes. We have that 'rah-rah, rally' sort of American mentality that we can all kind of get around.
I was never a rah-rah person. I never sold drugs or did anything crazy.
I think in a lot of ways, I handle the leadership role a little different than others. I'm not going to rah-rah or slap you across the helmet or push you. I'm going to talk to you.
I'm not necessarily a 'rah rah' guy. I'm not the guy speaking out with everybody watching.
I'm a Veteran. I was in the Navy, in the submarine corps. I come from a military family. Both of my grandparents were in World War II and retired as officers. One fought in the Pacific and one fought in Europe. The whole family was in the war. I grew up exposed to it and hearing the stories, but the stories I heard weren't kind of the whole "Rah, rah, rah! We saved the world!" They were about the personal price and the emotional price.
Fans, when they see me, they're like, 'Rah, he's a real funny person,' but everyone who grew up with me is like, 'Rah, that's Fat Tyrone.'
Out in Utah, it's chill, laid-back. There's not a lot of rah-rah stuff going on. You can focus on your job, your career, whatever else you have going on.
