I'm not cocky at all. You ask anybody, I'm one of the nicest guys. I try to be as humble as I can, but if you work hard, sometimes you know that you earned more respect.

I don't say it in a cocky way, but I take pride in being one of the best at doing what I do.

Just because I believed in what I was doing on the field and dedicated myself to playing the game, does that mean I'm cocky? Does that mean I'm arrogant?

I think people think I'm harder and more arrogant and cocky than I am - because I know how to put on a front, but it's nothing like who I am inside.

People thought I was cocky because I didn't talk much. When I first turned pro, reporters asked me who was going to win. I'd say, 'I am' because it was the easier than giving some long, drawn-out answer.

I wasn't cocky, just confident; I went to an all black school, a white kid.

I've never been that confident. I don't tend to think, swaggeringly, 'I'm going to ace this.' It's just not who I am.

I really like guys who have confidence, but not the cocky over-the-top confidence.

I've never been cocky. Even right now I don't like to talk about the Olympics.

Everybody is going to love me and this is not being cocky - this is just what I see.
