The Latin root of the word 'politics' means 'of the people.' Politics is about something bigger than electoral politics; in that sense, I feel like I'm already involved.

Our goal was to bring lacrosse to Marion County. It's different from football, basketball and soccer. It's something new here. The game is very exciting and it moves quickly.

A lot of modern horror can leave me cold, and I'm not good with blood and gore and all that stuff. It's not fun for me. There's nothing entertaining about watching a film like that.
