You just work at it. You just keep grinding away, keep trying to get better, and if you got the ability, one day you have a chance.

It's easy to say you're more mature because all of a sudden you have a child, but it's a process.

You may have seen have seen me in such places as your local market in a tabloid.

I think you use the negative things that happen from the year before - and from other years, too - to spur you to do the things you need to do to take the next step.

It's just like high school. If you're a freshman or a sophomore, it's hard to tell the seniors who've been through two, three, playoff games what to do.

Work hard, do things the right way, and things will go your way.

There's no question in my mind: not only am I going to be able to make it through 16 games, I'll make it through another five years.
