The Game:"My motto in life is to live a life less ordinary; I feel like you only do this once, and I want to do it to the best of my ability. I want to do it hard and fast and just suck it in, because I really believe you only get one chance."
The Strategy:"I've thought about my strategy, and it's changed a couple of times so I'm still not sure which one I'm going to go with, but I thought, if you kick off all the mean, hateful, snotty, nasty people, maybe you'll be left with all the good, happy, fun people - so you're going to have a party as soon as you get rid of all the (others)."
