You get fan mail and you see the reaction when you write someone back. It's kind of shocking. You can make someone's day and be a positive influence on the world when you're in a position like that.

Earned success is the key to a positive, happy life.

I'm someone who believes in having motivation at all times, win or lose, individual awards.

People do the eye test and underestimate me, so I do play with a chip on my shoulder.

The football field, I'd definitely say that's my safe place.

You can never satisfy other people, I learned. End of the day, it's extremely important that you know yourself better than anybody else, and if you can do that, it doesn't matter what anybody thinks about you, good or bad.

You can always get bigger, faster, stronger. I don't have any choice. I have to.

I stopped worrying about how other people define me a little bit ago. I used to care a lot. Now I just don't care that much. Really, what I'm worried about is, am I being the best me I can be?

I would definitely like the ball as much as possible... That's why I train.
