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.

Playing in the National Football League, you're told, you know, where to be, when to be there, what to wear, how to be there. Being able to step away from that, I have an opportunity to look deeper into myself and look for what's real.

There's nothing I miss about anything in the whole wide world. The idea of missing something means you're not living in the moment. Every moment is good for something.

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.

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.

One thing I've learned about life is that if you really let go, it's just a joy ride.
