You can predict all you want, but everybody knows what predictions get you.

A lot of people think I'm naturally confident. I am not naturally confident!

People didn't put pressure on me. I just played for the love of the game.

[My mother] was the strength of our family, and I didn't realize that until I got a little bit older.

You're not going to be liked by everybody when you speak the truth. I don't speak the truth to put people down; I don't speak the truth to show disrespect.

She [my mother] struggled, abusing alcohol for quite some time, and so we just kind of drifted apart. I went to college. But I dedicate the book to her because she is the true champion of the family. She kept our family together. She provided us with a roof over our head. She always worked.

I know that I'm breaking down barriers. And I know that in the end I'm doing a great thing.
