Anything, any adversity, has to be a source of motivation. And I've always been able to do that. If anybody says I can't do it, I end up doin' it. Because I don't like to be told that. Even a failure in a race, a major race, whatever, I always regroup, focus on what I did wrong or what I didn't do wrong and move forward again.

I run with my head, my heart and my guts, because physically, I don't think I've got a great deal of talent or ability. I started at the bottom and worked up.

If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough.
