I'm always interested in working with people who are good team players - that are selfless that way in their interests and dedication to the project.

I've got a great team around me with my family, manager and label, and we've all worked hard together to make things happen.

When I'm playing a team sport, it's not about one individual, it's about everyone, from me to the other 23 people who were there, to all the support staff who've worked very hard behind the scenes.

You have to be able to psychologically help your players, support-wise, be in touch with them, so I think managing people is very important.

It's difficult working with someone who is not a team player.

I've been part of a team and leader of the team. But wherever I've been, I've worked as if that was the only opportunity I had. I've never looked beyond that.

I've been on enough sports teams in my life to have experienced the magic of what can happen when a group of people care for and love each other.

I've played sports pretty much my whole life, and that teaches you how to work with anyone, whether you like that person or you don't, and whether you get along with them or you don't. The circumstances don't matter. Team work is part of life.

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.

I work through teams. It's the only way I know how to work.
