"They say everything you go through in your childhood builds character and inner strength." ― Curtis Joseph Topic(s): Strength More From Curtis Joseph "Growing up, sports was my outlet, my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people but, through sports, something I was good at, I was able to make friends." "No matter how many years you play, it’s always something new and exciting. It’s sports, you never know what may happen." "I love my hockey, but if you can do that and go home and just be a dad and husband, then you have the best of both worlds." More In Strength "Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool."― Esther Williams "I left because I could no longer make records that sounded less and less like me. I tried to please people instead of believing in my own strength, until the only thing I could do was walk away."― Melissa Manchester "You are talking to a man who can only play a plastic keyboard. Give me anything weighted and I’ve had it. I haven’t got the strength in my fingers to push them down. So I don’t get a lot of expression on the keyboard."― Midge Ure
