I think if you ask players about my game, they would say I'm pretty good at everything, but I don't think they'd say I'm the best at certain things.

One thing about television, it brings out personality. People are able to watch me in action. They hear my voice and see my eyes. There's nothing I can hide. That's me. Television brings out your flaws, your weaknesses, your strengths, and you truths. The audience either likes you or it doesn't.
