I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?

You can't imagine the number of people in professional sports who have come up to me and said, God, you treat those assholes like I'd like to treat them. And my question is, Then why don't you?.
