I feel the pressure but I embrace it. Whatever I have to do to make the sport catch on to other people, I'll do it.

If you're good enough, you're old enough.

There are some casual fans who think you're going to dominate a game, be magic, score 10 goals. Even if you dominate a game, you'll only score two or three goals.

It's frustrating at times when you think you've earned a chance to play on the field and you're over there sitting on the bench. That's not the kind of player I am. I'm the kind of player who wants to be out there on the field and needs to contribute every minute of every game.

You can't do anything to help your team win when you don't play.

This is unbelievable to me. I always wanted to be famous, be the best, but I didn't think it would be like this.

I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me - good, bad - I'm glad they did. It's made me ready for life, for adulthood.
