I had everything working my way, strong as a bull. And still I ignored the rules of the game of life.

And I tell ya, when I sit in that sound booth and started reading the script and starting to get into the character, man, it's an easy jump for me, because I understand what it's all about.

I'm a cocky sumb**itch. That's what makes me such a great player.

You can't tell them anything, but hopefully they will learn from the example and won't have to go through it.

I played one game, and one game played me.

I have a whole different type of lifestyle.

All you can do is put your story out there enough times and hope that a couple will understand that no matter what type of athlete you are - there were no athletes better than I was, there was no one who had more going for him than I did, there was no athlete stronger mentally than I was.
