There's nobody else on the face of this earth that's playing a sport at a highest level... with a transplant. That alone continues to inspire me because I realize throughout the whole world the struggles that people are going through. I need to inspire them the best way I can.

It's only when you're alone that you realize where you are. You have nothing to fall back on except your own resources.

I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt drudgery and a life of misery.

You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.

I think about dying. I've come to realize we all die alone in one way or another.
