One of my biggest problems is that I'm always so influenced by what other people are thinking about me.

I like to live in places that are kind of off in the cuts so people can't really find me even if they wanted to.

I'm closer to being happy. I'm doing things that make me happy. In football I loved to practice and I loved to play, but I hated to be in meetings, hated to talk to the media, hated to have cameras in my face, hated to sign autographs. I hated to do all those things.

At the core, we're all spiritual beings.

What I would tell young players is that as you get older, the best thing you can do is try to have other interests and have opportunities.

It's something that I had been pushing down my whole life. The search for meaning, I guess, the whispering of the soul.

As an athlete, you figure you work your whole life to have what you have, and to be able to show the world what you have and how proud you are of it, that's always fun.
