I study harder now than I ever did in college or high school. There's just so much pressure to know what's going on, and I feel like, especially with social media, there's always new information coming out on the teams, the players, the coaches, and the games. You can never be fully read enough, and I'm just constantly reading articles, watching games, and trying to read blogs.

I don't think there's any danger of me playing Indian music. However, I did a song of George Harrison's 'Beware of Darkness' that was kind of like that. That was an illusion.
