I don't really compare myself to anyone. Growing up, sure you have your favorite players or guys you try to emulate, but I'm just trying to be the best me I can be.

Growing up, my parents made a lot of sacrifices for my brother and I to go to private school and to attend some of the football camps. They got through some hard times, but it was for me, and that's what I've learned from them. I'm very grateful for that.

I guess I'd be nervous to skate and do hockey. Growing up in Hawaii there's not a lot of ice.

Growing up I was a huge Michael Vick fan.

I don't actually watch many shows. I will either watch movies or football. I enjoy to watch games in the Premier League and will also watch movies a lot as well. That is how I relax.

In the defensive midfield position, the player needs to give balance to the team and try to control the game. That's exactly what I try to do.

Deeper fulfilment is rather different from the happiness of seeing a good film or watching your team win at football, and it doesn't come at the push of a button.

Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team.
