You're only as good as your last pass.

The way I played the game, the way I live my life, is very emotional.

I consider adversity being good sometimes you know.

Nothing, for the most part, surprises me anymore.

You're never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they're in front of you.

I'm thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that, not only myself, but my family and the people around me have just been regular people, which we are.

In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice - either teams don't want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can't do it - for me, I really had never thought I would give out mentally before I gave out physically, but I think that was the case.
