If you don't go out and perform to the best of your ability, it will really bother you.

Now, I always look at the long term and by doing that, obviously, I can stay calm through the storm.

I have four appetizers, I try their entrees, I eat mine, I like dessert. So I have to make sure that physically, I try to stay in shape. I'm always doing some sort of a workout, and then mentally it just helps a lot with the stress.

As a company, the best that we can do is not only penalize but rehabilitate. Speaking for myself, I've always been strong. I don't need that club to put in my bag.
