I want people to believe me when I play a part and they are less apt to if they know a lot about me and have associations about me.

People don't believe in me very much, but I have my teammates and my family that believe in me so much; they see how hard I work.

I think that you have to find a piece of yourself in every role you play. If you don't believe what you're doing, you cannot expect anyone else to believe it.

You have to have faith in yourself, keep believing and sticking to the game plan, and hope when the chance does come, one of you will put it away.

I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.

Surround yourself with people who believe in you.

I have a lot of self-belief, and I think it will happen. I think I will just get better and better. It's what great players do; they don't let up on anything. And I wouldn't do that anyway.

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.

So many people supported me and believed in me. They made it so easy for me to believe in myself, because I didn't want to let them down.
