I've got some incredible fans actually - so loyal and they make me card »">birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs. They've got this thing called 'Floetry' where they all have to put in artwork. They've set up their own competitions and stuff which is kind of amazing.

Confidence is a static state. Determination is active. Determination allows for doubt and for humility - both of which are critical in the world today.

Determination, on the other hand, is a commitment to win, a commitment to fight the good fight.
