Anytime you run a gimmick offence, you're a little bit afraid - you're not sound in what you're doing in your base stuff.

Well, then, do it then, boy.

Anytime you run a gimmick offence, you're a little bit afraid - you're not sound in what you're doing in your base stuff.

I don't care about people kissing my ass or telling me how great I am. I don't really give a damn. I read the bad stuff a whole lot more than I read the good stuff. I read that because there are always going to be critics who are going to say how good you aren't.

But there was a hockey game where they didn't even play hockey, they just threw the puck aside and started fighting. I saw that and I thought, 'Oh man, I'm a thug?' So I'm really disappointed in being called a thug.

The success doesn't define you. The success isn't what gave you the edge in the first place. The failure didn't give me the edge, either.

Both criticism and praise is part of putting yourself out there.
