Regardless of what you want to call it, guys need some type of spirituality they can grab onto. If it's Christianity, which is a very structured approach, or if it's something that's a little more open-ended... like, Zen's something you can make yourself a part of. You can interpret it for yourself, like Taoism and stuff like that.

I view my pitching on how confident I was out there, period. And if I lose that confidence, I can become a prisoner of my own mind.

I'm so secure in myself I couldn't care less what people think of me.

I do look forward to keeping in touch with the guys because we'll always be connected in people's minds.

Meyer and I have a bit in common because we're both left-handed. I think it's great that he seeks out that advice because he's not too "cool" or too uncomfortable to ask for it.

I think I'm aware of what goes on in my mind more than some guys, and for that reason I fight more battles.

It's not like I'm some kind of veteran and there is this huge age gap. I identify with them more off the field. I need to set an example, which is great, and I look forward to doing just that.
