A lot of times I blend in a little bit easier because I'm not like a basketball player who's going to stand out because of his height.

America's a melting pot, all races, cultures, religious choices.

One of the things my dad kept instilling in me was the joy of the game. He made it fun for me. A lot of the time I see kids that don't enjoy being out there and that's a shame; you're supposed to enjoy the game.

It's ok to fail. Failing does not shape your personality; it's how you react upon your failure. Do you dust yourself off and mope or do you dust yourself off and come back stronger the next time? Eventually you will win. It may not happen the next time, it may take a little time but you will win in the end.

I want to say to each of you, simply, and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in.

My mind is my biggest asset. I expect to win every tournament I play.

Green and black go well together, dont they?
