My first week back was January 14th or 17th, so my mat time compared to everyone else is pretty slim. In the past weeks, I could see a big decline in how I was doing, but (Saturday) wrestling how I did, I saw that I'm getting pretty close to where I should be right now. I'm feeling really good about things.

I would have been miserable if I didn't have surgery. I'm pretty happy that I did have surgery. It makes it all worthwhile.

I think qualifying was pretty good. We went out slightly earlier than some people and got a good time in, so I was quite pleased with that, and then slowly started to slip back down the order, which is kind of the normal situation as qualifying works out, everyone gets quicker towards the end. The race is a different thing. We've just got to be smart, make sure we have a good first lap, you know, see how the race pans out. It's going to be a very long, tough race. Anything can happen.

I get nervous before every match now. Last year, I didn't have anything to lose. It's a bigger deal if I lose this year.

I think hard drugs are disgusting. But I must say, I think marijuana is pretty lightweight.

It got pretty hot, so the ball was going a long way. I managed to pull back, leave the driver in the bag and put it in play.
