It's always really challenging trying to go from player to player/coach. You have a kind of friendship basis of relationship with all of your teammates, and now you go to this power position where you have to make decisions that might hurt people's feelings.

People respect you more if you just play and blow something out than if you take the easier road. That's how we think. You get more respect and people play harder for you. Just play till you blow it. Just play till it goes.

The important thing is that your teammates have to know you're pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.

I always say that when I'm playing well, no one can beat me. I'm not just saying that to sound full of myself or anything, but it's true.

Whenever there is a big game and people don't think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.

I believe that I'm a special player. I think people love the way I just try to play. I don't try to impress anyone when I'm playing or anything. I just have a feel for the game.

I just play to good people; they seem to like what I do, and the more they like it, the more I play.

Sometimes I was wrong about my players. Sometimes I want more and more from them; sometimes I am so demanding, but they showed me how good they are.

When you have a lot of confidence and you feel like nobody can beat you, it's game over for everyone else.
