I just feel that at this particular time in my career, I've reached the pinnacle of my career, I've achieved a lot in that short amount of time, if you want to call it short, but I just feel that I don't have anything else to myself to prove.

The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.

If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life.

Don't be like me. Be better than me. That's the goal.

There are no shortcuts. I approached practices the same way I approached games. You can't turn it on and off like a faucet. I couldn't dog it during practice and then, when I needed that extra push late in the game, expect it to be there. Very few people get anywhere by taking shortcuts.

People can fly. Some people fly higher than others, that's all.

You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.
