Empathy is important, openness, honesty, and an understanding for others.

To say a player is past it at 29, 30 isn't right.

We have to learn from the past.

My job is to keep my players fit and fresh for the important games.

As a child, I used to 'torture' other kids by making them be in my shows. I would sell tickets to neighbors and organize performances.

For my entire life, I have held the cards of my complicated family history very close to my chest.

People with children will know this: when the childcare is over, it's over on the dot. You immediately have to go into child mode; there's no down time.

I've made a lot of sacrifices. When I was younger, I didn't see my family. I'd go and train all the time, not seeing friends, leaving the country, and stuff like that.
