“I think the guys are starting to rally around my leadership style and the way I do things. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity my whole life.”

I think as you get older, you realize there’s always going to be critics. Critics are going to win every time because they can change their critique based on the stats and their own personal feelings.

I’ve always seemed to have my best performances when I’m under the most pressure.

I think very highly of myself. I think I’m capable of a lot of things on the field.
