Dropkick Murphys get me going, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana... plus, all the regular hip-hop stuff.

People just don't understand how obsessed I am with winning.

The motivation for me is just the game itself, just playing the game the right way and trying to win, compete every time I step out there on the floor. That's motivation enough for me to go out there and play well.

It doesn't bother me at all. Do I hold any hard feelings? Not at all, ... Life is too short to sit around and hold grudges. I don't hold any whatsoever.

It's different from being 21 and you think there's endless amount of opportunities. At 33, the ending is much, much closer.

I grew up in front of these people, and now they are seeing me as an 'older' young man.

Friends come and go but banners hang forever.
