You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and to overcome adversity

I believe that the measure of a person's life is the affect they have on others.

What happened in the past is just that, the past. Champion or not.

It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.

I feel very comfortable going at full speed.

You make your own luck in life, so I'm not criticizing anyone - and I'm not even talking about myself for that - but I mean, every year, look at the team that wins. You can't control everything in a team sport. So I'm not going to cry about it, but yeah, there are moments where I'm like, "F - k." But I say it almost in an appreciative way, in a way where I realize it's great not everyone can do it. I wasn't fortunate enough to do it, but that's what makes winning a title so special.

Its crazy! I'm watching Linsanity hoping every shot goes in. Hope I never grow up.
