Athletics keeps us healthy, gets us up and running around. It also gives you an opportunity to meet a lot of different people, which is very important.

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.

My grandmother asks me to race down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it. Competitive to a fault, sometimes.

It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.

I always hear people say I give the same answers or I don’t give you much. No, I just don’t give you much negativity. When people are negative a lot, it starts to creep into your mind, and then you start having doubts, and I don’t like that. If there’s another way, show me. My job is to stay positive. My job is to limit distractions. And if you get annoyed by that, I don’t expect you to understand because you’re not in my shoes.

The big difference for me is that, as I get older, I find it's a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.

The only legacy I want is to be thought of as a winner.
