My parents always felt if I worked hard enough I could make any dream come true.

I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.

I looked up to my parents because they were very successful in what they wanted to do. I was lucky; I didn't have to look far for role models.

For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.

I always try to take from past performances. You never try to get too high or too low. Just play every game, just treat every game like it's the same.

A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.

It doesn't take any talent to play hard.
