I've always been attracted to things that are taboo. I've never been afraid to go to that dark place.

My helmet is off; I'm not afraid anymore.

When I retired, I felt that I lived more in that year than I had the previous 27 years of my life.

I feel no need and have no desire to give any attention to other people's opinion of me.

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

Texas was such a welcoming place, and with its unbelievable history and tradition, it's extra special to be a part of that.

I want to thank all my fans, teammates, coaches and supporters for the strength they've given me to overcome so much.
