All of the charities we're involved with have touched me in one way or another on a personal level. There are about eight or nine charities that I support.
What tournaments want to do, typically, is support charities in their community that need the money and charities that are impactful to their community. The better the job the tournament does for the charities, the better they are able to sell the tournament and raise money for the charity.
As for what motivates me to better myself, I would say the friends that I keep around me and also my family. They constantly keep me in check with their words and actions, knowingly and also unknowingly.
I'm very fortunate to have a husband and friends and family that are super supportive of my career in all aspects. I do so many different things, it's really nice to have a support network that includes him and my parents and my friends that encourage me to continue to work towards whatever it is that I want to do.
Everyone has different paths. I've been lucky to have a good support system - my family, friends and colleagues to keep me grounded and humble and to keep working hard. I never give up.
That's what I love so much about my family and friends, man. They continue to support me at the same time they keep me grounded and talk to me like I'm with them.
I support children's charities; I just don't want them around me. It's not very admirable, but it's the truth.
I have a really good at-home support system with my wife and the baby and even the dogs in that they all just keep me occupied, they keep me busy, they keep me moving, to keep my mind from drifting.
I'll tell thee what it says; it calls me villain, a treacherous husband, a cruel father, a false brother; one lost to nature and her charities; or to say all in one short word, it calls me - Gamester.
You can't create a successful politics of support for public education on the basis of asking voters not to care about skills, and tests that measure skills, at all.
Every conscientious husband and wife should measure their marriage by the unchanging standard of the principles found in God's Word.
My friends are my inspiration, and all of them are true friends that support me. On a daily basis, I know that I have my friends to rely on.
The tape measure doesn't lie. Get that tape measure out and put it on your hips and your waist. Keep checking it. And keep exercising and cutting those calories down until that tape measure gets close to where you were in your prime.
I'm not a fan of giving to charities. I have a few I support, but the overhead and inefficiencies really bother me. Instead, I pay people's bills and help solve problems.
I won't let any of my friends become a fan. To me, you're either a friend or you're a fan. That doesn't mean my friends can't support me, because they all do, but they can't treat me differently than they would treat someone else. None of my friends are in awe of me.
Since I started, I've always been giving my music away for free. I've always kind of done it for the people. I don't want to lose my fans completely because they support me in a way that's more than just listening to my music. They support me like we're friends. They support me like they have emotions invested in it.
