I try to go through my reads and then, if I have the option to run, I do run.

That's the goal. Just to go out and not try to prove anybody wrong but just let your talents speak for themselves.

You can say whatever you want; it doesn't matter. It doesn't faze me. I'll still go out and do what I have to do, whether that's making A's in the classroom or doing well on the field.

I think I'm starting to figure out when I need to get rid of it and when I don't need to.

I try to keep my confidence on the charts, but I'm a confident guy as well. You've got to be that way. If you don't think that you're the best, then you won't perform that way.

I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don't have to be defined by that.

For me, you don't ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That's what I've tried to go out and do.
