Quote of the day

Everything is a lesson, and there's always something to take and to learn. Whether you're winning championships or you have a losing season, you've consistently gotta go back to what you're passionate about and what has brought you to where you are today.

I tell young girls, "The world is going to exploit and manipulate your sexuality. If you benefit from that financially, then you are part of the problem. " That said, I thought all those parents flipping out over the Video Music Awards were ridiculous - women have been twerking in clubs for 20, 30 years.
