I'm big into water. I tend to get dehydrated pretty quickly, so water is my way to get those essentials that I need to continue a workout or go get the rest of the day.

In Hawaii, after somebody introduces themselves, the next question is, 'What high school did you go to?' From there, it's either 'Oh, OK, it's cool, I know some family,' or it's trash-talking to the max, like 'my school is better than your school.' This is how it kind of is back there.

The best leaders adapt and are flexible with their situations. I try to be the same.

I always try to make it a point when I'm talking to guys to say we. It's not you need to do this, it's what can we do better. It makes it more of a family culture.

My main focus was to be a great teammate. That's all I hoped to accomplish. I don't really care about legacies.

When I'm aggressive and things are moving quick and my feet are in place, I'm a better, more accurate thrower.

I learned a long time ago through my dad that you shouldn't really compare yourself to others - just because that hampers how good you can be.
