“I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society. Your education, and your mother and father, they tell you this is how it is, but then you hit adolescence and you think, 'Is it? Why? Why is it like that?' Sometimes that questioning leads to something more.”

“It's best to have failure happen early in life. It wakes up the Phoenix bird in you so you rise from the ashes.”
