Make sure the people of Laramie stay healthy, or my sister Marcella will come visit you, ... With my sister, physically maybe (she can be overpowered), but mentally, psychologically she will destroy you. I don't mess with my sisters. You think I'm tough, you should mess with my family.

When you're in school growing up, you have teachers who sit and read to these kids, and what better opportunity to sit and read a story - one that's not fake. It's not a dreaming story. It's not Harry Potter. It's a real-life story, with glorious moments to horrific moments, including the frostbite - and what better way to show kids their potential than with a real-life story?

We were taught instead of just reading about life we needed to go out and live it.

Every day I turned a 'you can't' into a 'you can.'

I grew up on a farm and I always learned when you work you go forward, you don't stop and say, well, I'll take a break. You always go forward and get the job done.

How do you beat an individual who hasn't been beaten in 13 years? With the help of others.
