There were many things in my childhood I sacrificed: I started travelling quite young, compromising school in terms of learning and time with friends doing normal stuff as a kid you want to do. But obviously I wouldn't change a day.

Improving, for me, is quite natural as I'm always critical of myself.

Of course, when you start in pole, winning is the only target you have.

You never want to be behind your team-mate at the end of the year, that's definitely always going to be my goal.

These 'Sports Illustrated' people, they know how to hold a secret.

I love how professional sports unite a city and a group of people.

I played football for 12 years, but I would always trick myself into exercise, like by taking a dance class.

I had a vision of how basketball should be played. And the vision was the Knicks teams that won the championship in 1970 and 1973. I wanted a team that emphasized defense. I wanted a team that on offense had a system where players moved off the ball, and the ball moved.
