“Whenever I get into a tough situation…I think of growing up, and I say, ‘This situation won’t be the worst one I’ve ever been in.’"

"I’m like everybody else—I expect great things."

"Everybody is bigger than me—it’s not like I’m going up there to intimidate you."

"Coaches and ownership are just like the fans on the street. They can always do it better, and they would always have done it differently when it doesn’t work out."

"You have to be mentally ‘there.’ Your talent is there, but you have to be mentally there, too."

"I’m 5-10 and I know it’s not supposed to be this way, but God has blessed me tenfold. I can’t explain it any other way. It’s just a blessing."

"The fans are great. They give me that extra edge."
