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.

Depending on their fondest memory of you, most people hold on so tightly to their fondest memory they don’t usually let you be anything greater than that. And that’s one of the things I think I allowed myself to be a victim of earlier in my career. What I learned as I got older is I decide. I decide what it’s like for me, not other people. You can be whatever you’d like to be. You just have to choose it.

I've never been in trouble with the police.

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.

I want to really start focusing on what I want to accomplish and what it is I want to achieve, but not micromanaging this or that and focusing on the little things.

I think I have a tendency to look at things subjectively rather than objectively when I reflect on my experience.
