The more you hesitate in a game, the more your chance of getting hit. Your focus isn't there. When you hesitate, usually you're in trouble.

It didn't feel like it was anything too major, but if you had to look at one hit that would be it.

Teach your parents well.

People are going to have their opinions. Whether it's good or bad, I don't really think about it either way.

It's not that hard to stay grounded. It's the way I was brought up.
