I demand more from myself than anybody could ever expect.

In a lot of areas of my life, particularly in my teenage years, I began to think about the world, and to think about the universe as being a part of my conscious everyday life.

If you've experienced having control, you don't want to be moved to a subordinate position, if you have your druthers.

But you know, we have a very normal family. We've had our ups and downs. You know, we've had our issues, but we've had great cause for celebration.

Many people think sports are totally physical, that you don't have to think, everything is done for you and you're catered to, I found that to be so far removed from the truth that it's almost a joke. The ones who become stars are the ones who have a head on their shoulders and know how to use it.

To be great we need to win games we aren't supposed to win.

And I continued to grow until I was 25 years old.
