"I don't need motivation. I have the drive."

"I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win."

"I'm not a politician. I'm a sportsman."

"I want to be perceived as a guy who played his best every night, who was a good teammate, who was fair to his opponents."

"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen."
