He's meant a lot as far as being able to watch him play and see what he does. One of the things he told me was to stay on an even plane and slow everything down. I watched him growing up, and to learn from him now has been great.

Sometimes, you're going to have to work hard, sometimes extra hard, and sometimes you still won't get that recognition. That's life. That's the way it is. But if you keep working, eventually you'll get the prize you're seeking.

If I just go out and play, the rest will take care of itself. That's what my parents taught me. They haven't been wrong yet.
