I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.

I have failed many times, but I have never gone into a game expecting myself to fail.

There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail

I want to play for years.

When I play against someone that's new in the league, I make him respect me. They may have heard about me, but now you get to see me actually in front of you. That drives me.

I am competing with what I am capable of.

I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.
