  • Sometimes I've sat outside, not to tan, but as a result of that I ended up tanning slightly.

  • Desire is individual. Happiness is common.

  • Pretty much the only goal I've had since the beginning, which I still have, is just to get better, work hard, focus, and everything else will just be a bonus.
