I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It's really great.

I've always wanted to call the shots because I would rather fail than not have a chance to figure it out on my own.

I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you'll go insane.

I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.

You don't have to hit perfect shots all the time here. The variety of shots you get to play, the shots you sometimes have to hit along the ground, it's just a lot of fun to me.

Normally, however, I try to avoid repetitions of any shot.

You have to shoot, to want to score goals no matter how. Just score that goal! You can't be afraid to miss.

You always get apprehensive before you do shoots.
