I want this spot; there's no doubt. I'm trying to stick the nail in the coffin right now.

I was trying to walk around [Rob] Bowen on the stage, and ended up taking a fall right onto my bad knee. It was a bit of a scare, but once I knew it was all right, I was able to breathe easy.

Right now, we're just trying to get him out, just like everyone else. But he came up big for them.

I think a lot of people are not taking us seriously. I think they're counting us out. We might surprise some people when they don't expect us to win. It takes a lot of the pressure and heat off of us. That might work to our advantage.

I'm really looking forward to the competition. This is a huge honor, and I'm really starting to get the feel for how important this is going to be.

We've got the pope on our side.
