If I were president? First thing I'd do is take care of the schoolteachers. I'm not saying we should start 'em out with six figures, but in some places they've got to be mother, father, brother, sister, and mentor. They're real important people. Let's give 'em a raise - and attract the best people to the job.

I believe that you should put the right people around you, people that will not let anything go wrong.

Man, I think the sky is the limit for this team.

At this point in my career I'm not concerned about the money, it's about winning. Nothing else even matters.

A lot of people think that as a player, during the lockout, you just have your whole day free. It's not like that - especially for me. I wake up everyday, train in the morning from 9 a.m. to about 2 p.m. Then I have a business meeting here, have to meet this person there, it's non-stop for me.

The new guys bring energy, intensity and emotion. The last couple games, they showed what they can bring to the team.

People need to see the authentic people that are still out there, the genuine people that really care.
