One of my big, big strengths I think early on in my career was that I could learn very quickly. You wouldn't have to tell me the things 10 times or 50 times until I would understand them. You would only have to tell me two or three times.

Simple version for me is, umm, started bad and finished bad basically.

I'm not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.

You can't expect yourself to be already peaking like crazy in an exhibition tournament.

I am thinking more and more about what I want to and can do after my days as an active athlete. Thoughts like family and marriage also cross my mind more and more often.

One should just be able to play a perfect game.

I think it's very hard for coaches to work with me. They'll no doubt have a good CV afterwards, but at the same time they're under a lot of pressure.
