I don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.

I do notice that I am tired.

I always work with a goal - and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.

It is important to recognize the small successes.

I'm really, really emotional.

I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.

I have the same bedroom I've always had. It's clean and tidy when I get home, and after two or three days it gets messy and my mother nags me.
