My whole thing in life is I just want freedom. I thought that money would give me that freedom. I was wrong. It bound me more than it freed me, because now I had more things to worry about, more people asking for money, I thought I had to buy a house and nice cars and different things that people with money are supposed to do.

I do feel like a loner but I think it's because I look at things differently than other people.

I think it's very easy for people to stereotype athletes, good and bad.

I have no room in my life for any form of negativity or nonacceptance.

Everywhere I go, people hear Ricky Williams and the next thing they think is marijuana or wasted talent.

If I can walk, I'll play.

Well, I don't think I've necessarily ever been a passionate football player or a passionate person.
