The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

We all have experiences in our lives that change us, and we all learn from people, like my dad, but at the end of the day, it's only us. And we're only responsible to make ourselves happy.

On the field, you come into sync with your teammates and coaches and together you achieve something that you could never do on your own.

I've had just about everything punched. I've had things grabbed that just shouldn't be grapped.

I have a memory, and I can just eliminate mistakes when they come up because I've already made them.

I'm a pretty good winner. I'm a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win.

My mom was a great tennis player, and I remember being six or seven years old watching Steffi Graf and Monica Seles in Wimbledon in my house. I've always been a tennis fan.
