My name's been on this check for a week now.

I've been around a while. I kinda know these things.

I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me.

My goal was just to try and be the best player on my high school team, and look where I am now. And that was still my goal as a young kid, just to try and be a little better than my brother was.

I really don't like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have wanted me to have it.
