Whether you win a match or lose a match, in terms of your emotions, it's important to be pretty levelheaded.

I don't spend a lot of my time in the locker room. That's my least favourite place in the world.

I love to eat, and if I could, I'd eat every second of my life.

You control your own wins and losses.

I'm always on the go. I love doing things until I hit rock bottom. Then I need my 12 hours of sleep, and I'm on the go again.

I don't do heavy weights at all.

Whenever I have friends over, we end up eating and talking and losing track of time, and, once in a while, singing karaoke. It reminds me of the family meals we had in Russia, which always lasted a very long time. That's a tradition I miss.
