I'm not from the heart of Atlanta, I'm from the Eastern outskirts. Stone Mountain is the town - Gambino is from there, Danger Mouse is from there.

I wear sandals, or a harness - I'm prepared to be outdoors because that's just how I am.

I wanted to take up a sport the real way and see if I actually had athletic ability. And then I happened to see it was during the Atlanta Olympics.

And I wonder if I would be good at it?"
