As you get older, you look at things differently.

There wasn't a better teacher or mentor out there than Reggie White, on or off the field.

Just, you never know what the next day is going to bring. That goes for football, goes for off the field, and I gave up a long time ago trying to predict the future and trying to deal with things I couldn't deal with.

Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn't have near the season I had the previous year. It was kind of a wake-up call. And so, life goes on.

I think my stubbornness, hardheadedness and stupidity is what has allowed me to play for 20 years.

I was serious about retiring the first time, but the first week I was home my wife had SO many chores to do I went back.

I don't need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.
