I try to win every tournament.

I don't play a lot of tournaments, but if I don't win a tournament in a year, people are like, 'What in the world is going on?' People don't realize how hard it is to win tournaments. You're not going to go out and play 10 tournaments and win one of them. Your odds aren't that good.

The more matches I play, the more confident I get.

When there's an important tournament going on, I try and stay in a bubble. It's easy that way because then you don't have to worry about anything else.

You've got to be confident when you're competing. You've got to be a beast.

I always feel if I work hard, if I can practice 100%, then the results will come. Whether it's the first tournament, the third tournament, it's going to come.

When you start off a new tournament, you want to do well.

I don't wake up every day and think about which tournaments I won and which titles I hold. It's something I don't care about.

I'm content. I want to have better success in the tournaments than I've had, but I know I'm playing well, so I'm happy with that.

To win a major tournament you have to face the top teams at some point, but if you avoid those at the beginning then you can win games and build confidence. I think the key is just to get off to a good start.
