Later, he talked about the importance of Olympia in their life right now, as he said, “At the end of the day, I even look back on a much less remarkable career that I’ve had and all the things that I cared about even with the success that I’ve had, the bottom line keeps coming back to the legacy that we’re leaving. And that legacy is right now one five-year-old little girl.“
