I used to collect hockey cards. It was like Vegas at my school. You'd go to school with your box of cards, and at recess and lunchtime there were all these games we'd play.

You have good games, you have bad games. You have good years, you have bad years. I have always been kind of philosophical about that.

I feel very comfortable going at full speed.

We play a different style than other teams. It's effective, but different. We run the floor, block shots and create turnovers.

The fans in Dallas were hard on me my first year, but after having a great year last year they are now supporting me. It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.

I think it's important that people stand up for what they believe in. It's important that people discuss things.

I lick my fingers because I don't like when my hands get slick. Licking my fingers helps me keep a good grip on the ball.
