Ten years later, that same person asked me, 'Are you a hero?' I said, 'Not even close.' My hero is always ten years away. She keeps me chasing.

Traducao (Portugues)

Há três coisas na minha vida que eu seguro firme. Primeiro, quero agradecer a Deus, porque é para quem olho. E ao meu herói, é quem eu persigo. Quando eu tinha quinze anos, uma pessoa muito importante na minha vida me perguntou: 'Quem é seu herói?' Eu disse: 'Sou eu daqui a dez anos.' Então fiz vinte e cinco. Dez anos depois, a mesma pessoa perguntou: 'Você é um herói?' Eu disse: 'Nem de longe.' Meu herói está sempre a dez anos de distância. Ela me mantém correndo.
