"But life hasn't been easy, and it sure as shit hasn't been perfect. On the surface, I make a pretty good Rambo, but the truth is for everything I've accomplished, I've screwed up a whole lot more. I don't mean that in the self-serving "my biggest fault is I work too hard" style. When I say I've hit rock bottom, I need you to understand I went for it so hard that if I were a car, I'd have no windows, doors, or fenders, and I'd be on fire... at the bottom of a ravine. But as bad as it got (and it got really bad), I've never quit. I've been called a lot of things: the most dangerous man in the world, a businessman, a dad, a husband, a hero, a villain, an SOB, and an arrogant asshole. There's probably truth to all those things. But at the heart of it all, I am a survivor."
