I think it's imperative to follow your heart and choose a profession you're passionate about, and if you haven't found that 'spark' yet, if you're not sure what you want to do with your lives - be persistent until you do.

It's been an amazing year of individual performances.

The real pride, the real present, is your health and your longevity. My whole career, I have never done anything where competition was involved with weight loss.
