I don't ever remember having any bad times here in Pittsburgh.

When I was playing, it would be whatever role I wanted. Now it's whatever they ask me to do, which I kind of like better.

I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.

I don't know if the record is going to happen. I don't really think about the record. There are other things I worry about.

If you want to be on top, you've got to have broad shoulders, because as fast as you get there, the faster they try to knock you down.
