“I’m my worst critic. Nobody can tell me how bad I did on a play, I know it right away, as soon as the play got over with. I know what I need to do to get better and everything,” he said while speaking with reporters in July.

“It’s just — you have to have that certain mentality. Always finding ways to get better, even when you have success on a play,” he added.
