It's awesome where I am right now. It's a lot of people's dream. I'm going to take full advantage of it.

A lot of players in Europe aren't as tall as the other guys, so they have to be stocky to physically compete.

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.

I need more time to develop as a player and as a person.

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

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.

I want to be good at what I do, obviously, and to do that I need to keep my head straight.
