“Winning is the ultimate.”
“I can play one through five, and if you need that that night, I could do it.”
“I have a ridiculous sweet tooth. Chocolate, candy, cake, ice cream, cookies, M&Ms - if it has sugar in it, I love it.”
“I've taken way too many shots in practice to count.”

“China is amazing.”
