You have to weather the storm. In every big game, there is always a big play. The thing is what are you going to do after that big play?

Never let them see you sweat.

I don't choose to take a role to prove to someone what I can do. It's an August Wilson play. I met with the playwright, I read for the playwright. In my career, that's like meeting Bill Cosby — meeting him is enough for me.

We came out and were ready to play. We just had to take care of business and that's what we did.

It's just nice to be out there getting waves. The weather doesn't play that big of a role for getting myself in the water. As long as the waves are big, that's good.

Our job is to not think about (weather) too much and just play. But the Texas wind can make a fairly easy course more difficult.
