I'm not a real vocal guy, but sometimes you need to kick someone in the ass.

I've done a lot of growing up and realized a lot of things.

There's no place like New York. And I found out that until you go through it for a season, you really don't know it.

I want to be the best, and the best work. You have to earn what you get, and you have to work to keep it.

I'm focussing on what I haven't attained, not what I have. A lot has come to me early. I don't want to get consumed with that. Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now. My goal is to play one full game in the now, but I haven't even gotten past the first inning yet. I start thinking about where my mom is or if my dogs have been fed. The average human has 2,000 thoughts a day. The really accomplished have 1,500 because you can focus longer. I need to learn how to focus longer.

This is how I define grace: youre on the main stage, and it looks like it has been rehearsed 100 times, everything goes so smoothly. Thats where I get my confidence and success, from knowing that I have an edge because I know Im prepared.

You must be present to win.
