I can't control the naysayers. I can control my attitude and work ethic and determination and that's what I'm focused on now.

I know there are a lot of people who believe in me as a player and a person, and I don't want to let them down.

Where we start to lose it is when we start to grasp onto what we think is ours. No, this is mine. No, that's my career. That's my money. That's my platform. But really, no, it's yours, God. It's not mine. You might lend it to me for a little while. You might let me hold onto it. You might let me use it for a little bit, but that's not mine; it's yours. Thank you for letting me use that for a little while. I think that's what staying grounded means.

I always love training at crazy times - it's an edge I'm creating over everyone else.

I'm not perfect. I'm never going to be. And that's the great thing about living the Christian life and trying to live by faith, is you're trying to get better every day. You're trying to improve.

Talk about your blessings more than you talk about your burdens.

As a competitor and an athlete, you have to believe in yourself. And you have to believe in the people who believe in you.
