I actually was rebelling as all young adults tend to do at or around the age of 19, to experiment with their lives and have fun.

Football is so barbaric. Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking by playing it. I feel almost like I escaped from boot camp.

I watched UCLA football for many, many years. I've grown accustomed to the Pac-10 style.

Due to the injuries that I will have for the rest of my life, it is physically impossible for me to consider any career in wrestling.

I'm moving to a point that I'm fed up with the N.C.A.A. dictation.

You see 'awesome' and I see 'lost.' It's very easy to lose touch with reality when you've got that many people thinking you are more than you really are.

In the middle of a play, I go crazy and don't realize what I'm doing. I'll snap back to reality and I realize, 'Hey, I just ripped that boy's helmet off,' or, 'I'm over here twisting this guy's knee.
