There's so much to be afraid of.

People think that if you've written a book and somebody's given you a pat on the back then, you know, it's all - you're all settled, you know? You're going to be fine. I know that if I'm not confused, and really afraid, my work isn't going to be any good.

It's like a dream. These players played their hearts out. It's awesome. They were ready. They weren't afraid of it. We have been here for each other. It has been a great team effort the whole week.
