I lay awake in bed at night, thinking about how it will feel. How great it will feel to win it.

To me, he has been the best player all year. Will it hurt him getting injured? I don't know, but as far as I'm concerned his statistics speak for themselves. In his position, he has blown everybody away. He's as deserving as anybody in the country, I think.

So, your idea of a good night is to go to bed early with a book and a milky drink, is it? What kind of example is that for the 19-year-olds who have no idea how to behave? You take this powder and get it up your nose pronto, young lady!

I went to bed the first night knowing I had to win or else that was it. And I also knew it was against the same kid who blew out my knee last year. So, I had a lot going through my mind.

It goes to bed with me at night and it's waiting for me in the morning.

Even when I was hospitalized twice, and when you lay in that bed thinking about what you're going through, my family and friends were the main reason I kept fighting.
