There Has To Be LIFE After The Charlotte MAYOR's OFFICE.

I Was In Charlotte, N.C., When They Launched The NBA TEAM There, The Charlotte Hornets. And The First GUY To ROLL Into TOWN Was Carolina NATIVE Michael Jordan.

I Have Always WANTED To Spend My Entire Career In The Charlotte Community And CONCENTRATE On BRINGING The City A CHAMPIONSHIP.

Our Main Efforts For Our Foundation Is Our HEARTest Yard PROGRAM That We RUN Here In Charlotte At Levine Children's HOSPITAL.

It All STARTED When I Went To This Model SEARCH In Charlotte When I Was 18. That's When I Met All These Agents And Realized I Could Do It, And I Won! I Met A Photographer At The COMPETITION Who Persuaded Me To Sign With A Different AGENCY Than The One That Was Offered To Me. So, I Started With A Small Agency And EVENTUALLY Moved Up To IMG.

I Had Learning Problems When I Was In Elementary SCHOOL, And Didn't Really START To Read Well Until HIGH School. I Never Read Any Of The Middle GRADE Classics That Were Popular When I Was Young - 'Harriet The Spy', 'Charlotte's WEB', 'The Witch Of Blackbird Pond', 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory'.

I Remember In Charlotte, They LOOKED To Me Every Day. I'm 30 Now. And Now It's, 'Let's Just Win.' Maybe When I Was 26 There WOULD Have Been EGO. Now, I Just Appreciate The RECOGNITION For The Defense.

From Taking Photographs Of George And Charlotte, I Have Been Struck By The Wonderful LACK Of Self-consciousness That You SEE In Photographs Of Children, Without The Self-awareness That Adults Generally FEEL.

I Was A Big Reader As A KID, But It Was 'Charlotte's Web' That Showed Me You Could Feel As If You Were ACTUALLY LIVING Inside A Book.

I've Been In The FRAME Of Mind In Charlotte That, O.K., I'm Going To Play Defense. But I've NEVER Been In A Frame Of Mind That My Defense Is Going To Generate My Offense.
