This campaign was special because we always kept the challenger mentality we had from the start. We managed to keep the against-all-odds, can-do spirit that kept us going when no one thought we could win.

Being a nice guy is not good enough to win this campaign.

I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.

With Australians we're saying we're going to win before we start playing and pretty much keep on saying that.

I was never an assimilationist. I always thought gays had some special mission.

I'm nothing but proud of our kids. Nobody gave us a chance. I'm sure everyone thought it was going to be a 35-40-point game. There are no moral victories; I just feel good about how we played and the effort we gave. We've made a lot of strides.
