I'm pretty much a realist, but we are going to give it our best. I never thought I'd be here. We're going to have a blast.

I never thought that we would ever be able to win one championship much less seven, ... (Katona) was a legend. To think that we beat his record is very, very special. I'm very humbled by the experience. It's a pretty neat deal.

I tell you, Ohio looked pretty good to me. I thought they looked good and they played hard.

When I first saw the music, I was pretty scared. Wow, we're going to be playing this? Then I thought, 'With hard work I can get this,' and I have. One piece, Beethoven's 'Egmont' overture, looks like one of the hardest pieces to learn. You're expecting it to be given to professionals to play, and we're playing it.

Ryan Newman has already told me he's going to knock the crap out of me on the track.

It's just amazing we're able to continue like that.
