People look at you differently if you wear a bow tie, as opposed to a necktie.
There's four main pillars to the bow tie - self-representation, service, collaboration and critical thought. You have to understand how to represent yourself and critically understand how to collaborate and serve others.
When you wear a bow tie, doors open for you. Your posture is a little more erect; your shoulders are a little further back; your style is a little more dynamic. It's about the reestablishment of the gentleman.
We had 10 girls in black dresses walking around with bow ties on. Guerrilla marketing.
I found out that changing the perception of myself and the NFL, and reestablishing the notion of being a gentleman was important to me.
I'm living my future as long as you're living in the present and realize how beautiful life is.
I will be the first black James Bond.
Because CoEd's doing incredible work in Guatemala so how can I not #tieoneon?
Travel around the world is amazing. New people. New-found family, really.
I want everybody to travel, to travel and not be afraid.
I watch reality TV , but unless you have been part of that crew, unless you've sort of been immersed in that culture in what's happening, unless you have been in that concentrated moment, you wont believe it unless you're there. And with 'Ton of Cash' we just hope that we captured all of the best moments.
For my birthday, I would ask for a ticket from my mother. Just buy me a ticket to said country and I'll just find my way through. And that's what I always did. I never changed too much of that.
Football is one side of me. Art is another. Travel is another.
When it all boils down, its about embracing each others stories and maybe even finding that synergy to collaborate for the common good.
