from Kristina Rutherford of Sportsnet,

KR Is the public perception of you different than how you are?

JT Oh, sure.

KR I was a little scared to talk to you, to be honest.

JT Oh, no. But I can’t do anything about that. And I don’t want to chase perception, it’s too hard. Those top 10 lists [sports networks] sometimes have—if that’s what people want to think of me, I can’t change that. Because that is me in those situations. If people want to roll me up in a ball and say that’s who he is, I can’t change that. But for the people who really know me, they know me. This is a hard interview for me, and you’re going to end this pretty quickly because you’re talking too much about me.

KR Really?

JT This is the last question for you, Kristina. Out of the game, I’m private. So we’re done.
