The trick in writing children's books is to set up danger, mystery and excitement on page one. Force the kid to turn the page . . . Then in the middle of each chapter there's a dramatic point of excitement, and at chapter's end, a cliffhanger.

When it's time for me to walk away from something, I walk away from it. My mind, my body, my conscience tell me that enough is enough.

I was disappointed if I didn't have a chance to win a game, and if I had the chance and didn't do it.

As you get older, every chance to win a championship is more crucial, because you are going to have less and less of them.

Confidence is a lot of this game or any game. If you don't think you can, you won't.

I don't live in the past. And besides, there are too many times in my career to remember specific events, because I played so many games.

If you can't see someone's got a game with great personality, you shouldn't be out there looking.
