You can't imagine how much good luck is involved in winning, but all of a sudden, you get in a situation where every break goes your way, every call goes your way, every ball that rolls around drops in instead of out. It feels magical.

As a player all you can do is play within yourself, even in the context of a team sport.

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.

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.

I always wanted the ball in my hands with a game on the line, as I think any real competitor does.

Anything can happen with hard work and dedication

You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.
