I have one goal with all my decision: to do whatever is needed to win today's game. I'm loyal to my players, and I stick with people because consistency builds confidence. But if I feel I have to make a change in order to win, I'll do it. I don't ask players to like my decisions, only to accept that I'm doing my job with one thing in mind - winning.

Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.

As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do.

I'm a very private person, and I don't want to share stuff with anyone.

Unless you have bad times, you can't appreciate the good times.

It just feels good to beat the world champs to be the world champs.

I wish I could paint that picture. As a 20-year-old kid, that was a big thrill.
