In every aspect of life, have a game plan, and then do your best to achieve it.

Whether I'm playing right now or not, I still have an opportunity to get better in practice. It's like sharpening my blade.

Get your work in. Work hard at it. Give it your best effort. And if you get an opportunity, be ready for it. That's respect for the game.

You have to be sharp when the camera's rolling. I want to be totally unselfconscious, like a child playing. I do as much prep as possible so I can lose myself for those seconds.

I focus on making sure I'm sharp, and it doesn't matter who I am fighting. I need to perform at my best and try to elevate my game to the highest level I possibly can, so that is what I concentrate on doing.

I don't just want to go out there and do my job - I want to excel at it. I hold myself to a high standard. I expect to make plays that alter the game, and if I don't, I hold myself accountable.

I don't think I'm very ambitious at all. But I seem to play people who have that quality.

I know as soon as a game is finished if I have done well. I don't need people to tell me. I want to achieve perfection.

You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it's the right thing to do out there.

I've never had a plan - it was just to try and get with the people you like to play with, and try to do the best you can.
