I have a goal to be the best player every time I touch that floor. Just be the best me.

I grew up writing. It was very natural in my household. My father was a poet, and his mother had been a novelist back in Hungary.

I grew up in a family where everybody had a good time and we were at the lake every weekend and going to the beach and living a good life. It's been the way we always lived, and my wife's the same way - enjoy every day and have fun.
