“I won’t pretend to be a hotshot with a perfect life, but I know where I come from, and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved. I’ve seen more of the world than most, married the woman of my dreams, I’ve published a book, and built the body I envisioned for myself. Everything I’ve accomplished, I’ve done without handouts. Some will think I’m a loser; others will see me as a winner. It doesn’t matter. If my 20-year-old self could see me today, he would be amazed.”
