I'm sort of like a maniac, and I can't get out of it.

That excitement on the court, I'm the same way off the court. I like to have fun, meet people; I like to give high-fives to the kids courtside. Just have fun. That's kind of my personality, that's how I've been.

When you're used to seeing someone being coldly efficient on court and suddenly they go on stage and into your world - it's fascinating.

When I'm on the court, I try to play with all my emotion and heart.

I'm a different person off the court than I am on the court, where I'm very competitive, a perfectionist, and I can be hard on myself sometimes. Off the court, nothing really bothers me. I'm easy-going.

I've learned not to be as maniacal as I used to be.

Man, people have been waiting for me to fall off my whole career. From the first time I stepped on the court. It probably made people sick to their stomachs watching my whole career, watching the things that I've done in my career.

I think that's my personality, to have a good laugh and not to take myself too seriously. And of course I have my things on the court but when I'm off the court I just like to have fun.

I'm just happy that I get the opportunity to do the things on the court that I do in practice.
