What you'll hear Scott say:
- "If there was recipe for success, the biggest greatest single ingredient would be failure."
- "I was more comfortable in front of 17,000 people than I was in front of one person. It was really hard."
- "I had a protector in grade school, a big Hispanic guy who looked after me."
- "Maybe someday they won’t call me ‘ma’am’ when I order room service."
- "When I went through cancer I had to re-establish who I was and what I was about."
- "I look at that brain tumor and if I hadn’t had that brain tumor, my life wouldn’t be what it is today."
