A lot of people have been hyped up to be great but just disappeared. I promised myself I wouldn't be one of them.

I've never been the kind of guy to hype myself up. It's just not my thing.

There is such a hype and a big build up to me, and it's very hard to meet those expectations. That's been a big stress in my life.

The easiest way to not believe your own hype is to not know what people are saying about you.

Hype is wonderful when it happens, and you should capitalize on it. But you shouldn't bank on it being the thing that will take you to the next step. Because it's fleeting. The blah-blah-blah goes away, but you're still there.

I get too hyped before games.

You become very known for being someone's girlfriend, and all of a sudden there's all this hype and buzz for all the wrong reasons.

I don't want to believe my own hype.

I think I learned a lot about not buying into a lot of hype. I wanted to be a kind of faceless entity; I didn't want to be Dhani Harrison and the Muppets or something like that.
