I don't have to hear that criticism, that idotic criticism anymore.

Sometimes I do wonder what college would have been like. But I made my decision.

When you love something, you'll always come back to it. You'll always keep asking questions, and finding answers.

I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. No matter what the injury - unless it's completely debilitating - I'm going to be the same player I've always been. I'll figure it out. I'll make some tweaks, some changes, but I'm still coming.

I draw from the crowd a lot.

That argument doesn’t make any sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and as a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American, we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far we’ve progressed as a society? Well, if we’ve progressed as a society, then you don’t jump to somebody’s defense just because they’re African-American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I won’t assert myself.

Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
