Quotable
"Some people call me Mr. Serious because when I'm at competitions I'm not as friendly, and I don't mean to be not friendly it's just that I'm really to myself. I don't really talk to anybody until after the competition and you know then I'm all party and want to go for a beer. My face has become so worried and so focused during the events that 'Mr. Serious' is a zone I get into while competing."
