People have always doubted whether I was good enough to play this game at this level. I thought I was, and I thought I could be. What other people thought was really always irrelevant to me.

I know that to be a good player, you have to stay healthy, and you have to be as athletic as you can possibly be.

Play because it's fun, and not to become a pro. If your goal is to become pro, the best way to realize that is by loving what you do.

You should be able to voice your opinion and respect the voice of the other side. You should be willing to educate yourself and know what it is you're dealing with.

I'm not going to retire because I want the money. We want honest athletes, but at the same time, you're going to have people saying, 'He's so greedy. He's made X amount of money, and he has to take that last little bit.' Yes, I do have to take that last little bit. I'm sorry if that is frustrating to some, but if they were in my shoes, they would do exactly the same thing.

It seems like my whole life I've been this little Canadian kid dreaming somebody would give me a chance.

I learned at a young age to dribble with both hands, and that allows me to be more creative when I go against bigger and stronger opponents.
