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.

I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.

You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.

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.

I play in New York, man. Criticism is part of the game. You take criticism as a challenge.

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

When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!
