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.
Ricky WilliamsDepending on their fondest memory of you, most people hold on so tightly to their fondest memory they donโt usually let you be anything greater than that. And thatโs 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 itโs like for me, not other people. You can be whatever youโd like to be. You just have to choose it.
Ricky WilliamsI think if I were a college professor, no one would say I was uncomfortable about being shy because that might be expected. But I think because of people's stereotypes, they think of a football player as someone who is very outgoing and I'm not.
