You're always going to survive the pain of loss. I can live with that confidence inside of me.

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

I have a problem with players who don't take the loss personally. At a professional level you should - it's our job, it's our livelihood, it's who we are at this level. Every loss should be taken that personal.

It's a complicated thing, knowing how much pain my father caused in my life and the lives of others whom I love, yet still holding love for him in my heart. No matter what he did, he was my father. He helped create the person I am.

I have given my life to the game and to the sport.

No one wants to lose, period. It should hurt, it should sting, and you don't want to feel that feeling again.

You know journalists. You know the media. They are going to hang on to anything negative they possibly can.
