Once you get on the playing field it's not about whether you're liked or not liked. All that matters is to play at a high level and do whatever it takes to help your team win. That's what it's about.
My father wasn't around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, 'Why me? Why don't I have a father? Why isn't he around? Why did he leave my mother?' But as I got older I looked deeper and thought, 'I don't know what my father was going through, but if he was around all the time, would I be who I am today?'
But ever since I was a kid, I was always the winner.
My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.
When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.
I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do.
