Playing sick. That is so hard to do. It has to be a total mental challenge, as well as the physical challenge.

I'd take 12 guys who had a strong passion for the game over 12 guys who don't respect the game.

Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.

I don't go out and just try to score. I score because there is an opportunity to score.

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.

Enjoy every minute of life. Never second-guess life.
