Key Quotes

“A virus never goes away, and I don’t think just the vaccine or something is going just to cure it all. I think it’ll be around, and we’ll have to live with that. I recommend to people to the prize, start getting healthier, and start exercising. That’s the best vaccine”

“Throughout this pandemic, it’s taught me that a simple life is a nice life.”

“Get in tune with your body and your mind. If something’s bothering you, it’s like a little thing that’s nagging you or whatever, try to think what that would be from and how can you make it better.”
