After September 11, I don't think people really believe things like this are all that important.
If I get to know somebody, I'll open up, but other than that I like to sit back and observe things.
I've won a championship on every level except the NBA. It's frustrating to have not gotten that in the first two years.
It's all about leading by example. Am I going to be perfect? Absolutely not.
We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.
