Usually, when you're one of the better kids in your area, there's a lot of people that try to talk to you.

The waves are taking me farther away from the shore and I'm getting real scared.

It brings a whole new excitement going to somebody else's field and just taking it over and making it your own.

Once you hit a couple big passes, they tune themselves out. They weren't talking as much; that helps.

Where I've come from, I've heard trash talking before. Once we settled down, once we caught a couple passes, you kind of tune that out.

I'm not the type of guy that needs to be in the spotlight and sometimes I used it as motivation. Those guys are great and I'd like to do what they do. I just felt that, when I get my chance, I'd be able to do some things that they do.
