It's been a pretty good spring. Coach Steele has been working with me on my vision, my technique. I'm trying to step up to the occasion.

I can't get carried away with having a good time because everyone, especially the young guys, have to know there's a time and place for everything.

I just volunteer. I like kids. I've been doing that ever since I've been here. I like to switch schools. Last fall I was at Griffin Middle School. I talk to them, read to them.

I like to let my work ethic speak for itself, just things of that nature, like the way I go about practice and show these guys how to do it.

There was a musical vision that wasn't locked into one place. It's a musician's band. We weren't necessarily trying to be a household name so much than make a name within the musical community and shape those things that influenced us.

I don't talk about the differences, because what I'm trying to create is a shared vision. I try to instigate conversation about what the company's values look like as images.
