The people that I see on the street, they treat me more as a human being and not just an icon or a football player.

It's good to do things slow in the bush. It makes you appreciate everything a lot more.

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.

As human beings we have a tendency when we like something to tie it up and make sure it's there for a long time. I've been working on being able to let things go. I don't think I ever want to buy property again.

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

It's funny, people say 'Welcome back' when I haven't gone anywhere.
