Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.

When I graduated from college I didn't want to play in the AFL.

When you think about your heritage, you think about toughness and hard work.

Plays have to be made, and we have to find a way to make them. All of us.

I'll take as much work as I can get. You can always need more work.

If I had it my way, I never would have left San Francisco, but things change and that's the nature of this business. We have to move on. We hopefully get opportunities down the road that we take advantage of.

Just because an individual in his 30s hasn't found true love and, yes, there are opportunities to date but it also forces you to be more particular. In so many ways, you become more adamant about finding that right person and not allowing yourself to open up to just anybody.
