Ya know, America's a great country. It's great because it allows you to fight. And you can win, if you have the stamina and tenacity.

Even though the money is great and the fame is great, you still have a lot of disenfranchised young men that are participating in the NFL that are not very happy. A lot of them are very bitter.

People think that coaches are always right, but it's difficult to teach a runner how to run, because every runner is different. You have to have an understanding of how to assist what that runner has, so they know how to assist what you have without taking away your special ability, because you're not like anybody else.

When I'm on a picture, I have two bosses - the director and the producer. My co-star is not my boss.
