I never dreamed about being an actor, because that was out of reach. Coming from a small town that was big in farming, and also big in clothing factories, you don't dream about being a professional football player or an actor.

Lets not push it under the rug, or push it to the side because, no matter what, it's going to keep coming up. You know, if you never deal with that dirt up under the carpet, it's going to get larger and larger, and it's going to keep coming up.

When I started out as a little kid, I didn't say 'I just want to run football.' I wanted to be a great athlete.

My God given talent is my ability to stick with training longer than anybody else.

I was a little different. I still say Im a little different, because success to me is not having the most money, or having the biggest car or the biggest house.

Believing that no one is better than the other. You know I grew up in the South. My senior year there was a very big racial tension.

Strive to be the very best you can be. Run the race against yourself and not the guy in the other lane. The reason I say that is, as long as you give it 110% you are going to succeed. But as long as you're trying to beat the guy over there, you are worried about him; you're not worrying about how you've got to perform.
