My parents and grandparents always made me feel fortunate. I'm in a position to help others feel the same. It's just in my heart and is something I feel very very strong about.

It's really up to me to speed up my learning curve as a player so I can contribute in a much bigger way night in and night out.

They took one from us last time, so now we took one from them

People think about, when you sell a million records, "Oh. You must be buying Ferrari's and living in mansions." It was never really like that.

It was a good feeling to have a lot of support. A lot of people respect me as a player but also as a person as well.

If you're going to do something in your life do it 100%. Don't question it just go after it. If you don't believe in it or you're not honest with yourself it's not going to work and that's just something that I learned over the years.

I'm a guy who has always been a late bloomer on every level. I've always wanted to get into the league as a kid. Who would have thought during my senior year at college that I would be where I am now? It's been a lot of hard work and never stopping.
