As an athlete, when you are on that field and the fans get really engaged and you can feel their energy and passion and true love of the game, it is absolutely a spiritual experience.

All I do is work out, oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating.

So many guys are so conservative with their hair, and I always joke with all my buddies when they mess with me, and I'll say, 'That's right, keep the same haircut for ten years.' How fun is that?

Mentally, the only players who survive in the pros are the ones able to manage all their responsibilities. Everybody struggles in different ways.

I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.

I think I've always tried to be very professional to how I approach the game, my preparation. Every game is important.

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