So much of what's in my wardrobe is hand-me-downs, so my style was actually invented for me by family and friends.
Times were poor. I wore hand-me-downs. And because the kids just older than me in the family were girls, sometimes I had to wear my sisters' hand-me-downs.
My grandma taught me how to hand-sew, so I'm always making things from hand-me-downs.
If I'm going to try and find something, I stick to the flea markets, or I pull hand-me-downs from my family because I like pieces to have stories.
I get a lot of emotion from my family and my friends. I think it's just communicated in a different way. When my family feeds me, they're saying they love me. They pick me apart to show that they care. One look from my mother says so much.
It just means so much to me that America voted for me, and I get to see all my friends and family supporting me and crying with me.
I was convinced in middle school that I invented tight-rolling your pants, because I would get hand-me-downs from my brothers, and of course they were bell-bottoms from the '70s. So I would fold and fold over the bells. I like to think I started the trend. But I didn't.
'The Sopranos' wardrobe people would sometimes go over there and just grab stuff off the racks, because B&G has that style that never ages. It's like a '50s or '60s style. It fits me well.
I used to wear my brothers' hand-me-downs, which were all too big on me.
Due to my lack of family, I've almost built a family around me of friends that are, for me that is, they mean more to me than my own family.
I have such incredible friends in L.A. that are pretty much my family now - I mean, outside of the family I have back in Canada - but they just supported me so hard and believed in me when I barely believed in myself anymore. I still can't thank them enough. They mean the world to me.
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.
My relationship with God has gotten so much stronger. He's always had his hand on me. He always guided me. I didn't always go where he wanted me to go. But He always had me. Now that I'm actually listening and being obedient, life is so much better.
It took so much of the tension out of me that my friends and family won't see me on this show.
For me, I just value my friendships so much. I mean, I love my family, too, but my friends - I have a really special connection with my friends.
I have a good family. I have good friends. I have people that actually care about my wellbeing as opposed to just work and just need me for work or whatever. Like, people that genuinely look out for me and my health, knowing how much work I put in.
Football has done so much for me, given me friends, family, given me life lessons that now I can use in the operating room or just as a leader.
