Many people have this image of me. For a long time, I cared about that.
We just have to get it going and play hard every time out.
We have sat on the river bank and caught catfish with pin hooks. The time has come to harpoon a whale.

I feel like a little kid who just walked into a candy store. I think that's something to smile about.
I want to thank all my fans, teammates, coaches and supporters for the strength they've given me to overcome so much.
I listened to all types of music, and obviously when I got to Seattle I was very much aware of the music scene there.
