It's so easy to dwell on what has happened, the missed cuts, but I would end up being upset, angry and depressed about things. So you can't do that.

Don't have a mentality where scoring is all that matters, getting assists are all that matters.

Stubbornness and ignorance and determination are a very fine line from each other. I'm a very stubborn person, but not so stubborn that I can't learn new things and meet new people, but I have a...

I'm a competitor; I'm in here talking - come at me. If you score on me, I'm gonna tap you on your butt. You got the best of me - but you got to do it every time.

Career is a mindset. The wrong mindset. Career is linear. Especially when you are trapped in the TV or film world. The next thing you do has always got to be bigger, or it is perceived as a failure.

I just want to put some positive stuff out there. If it works, great. If it doesn't, no problem.

I don't really look at things in a scary way.

I'm always just grinding and figuring out what adjustment I need to make and how to tweak my swing to where I want it to be for that game and that pitcher.

Never been in the habit to look back.

Records don't tend to drive me on.

Paradigms are like glasses. When you have incomplete paradigms about yourself or life in general, it's like wearing glasses with the wrong prescription. That lens affects how you see everything else.

I don't feel like there is anybody out there with more confidence than me.

My ball striking was already good when I turned pro, so there wasn't a whole lot that I could really necessarily improve on.

If I'm not focused, that's when I'm going to get in trouble.

Regardless of the magnitude, the crowd, or the pay-per-view sales, the goal is to beat the guy in front of me.

I was taught that pain is bad.

Interceptions are gonna happen. You can't worry about that. 'I made a mistake? OK, I have to make up for it.' That's my attitude about it. If I worry about it, I've got no chance.

If someone's going to throw me in, I'm not going to try and hit a ground ball to third, you know? I'm going to try and hit it in the air. If someone's going to throw me away, I'm not going to try and...

I have a neat and tidy bed when I reach home but a cluttered one by the time I leave.

You just can't get surprised when you get surprised, because weird stuff just comes over the transom all the time, and it's not necessarily anything that you've planned for or anticipated.

I believe everything happens for a reason.

I just think pressure is all what you put on yourself.

There's probably a little greater case for pessimism than optimism. But I do not rule out optimism.

I don't set a whole lot of goals. It smacks a little bit of will to me, and I find that will is not the way to go for me.

I always feel like I'm the best - no matter what.

You can magically alter your life if you believe hard enough and then take actual physical action in the world outside your brain to make it happen.

I don't know how I look when I'm on the court to tell you the truth, I'm just focused.

I'm locked in no matter what I'm doing. If it's a competition, I'm locked in.

I always imagine the world and myself above it and how minute one negative person's voice is in comparison to the amount of people that are in the world.

Just scratching the surface. It's just the beginning. I'm still young. I've got a lot of time to grow.
