I had a lot of friends in high school and in college, and we had a good time.

Everywhere I go, I hear 'Welcome back.' But everywhere I have been, I have always been with myself. I'm with myself now more than ever. It's funny people say 'Welcome back' when I haven't gone anywhere.

Well, I am now convinced there is no kind of fear or anxiety anyone has to live with.

Everywhere I go, people hear Ricky Williams and the next thing they think is marijuana or wasted talent.

I would drive home and see people wearing my No. 34 jersey and wonder why, because I didn't feel worthy of that. And all the time I just knew people were staring at me, talking about me everywhere I went.

I don't feel like my speed or my power or my desire to play this game has diminished at all.

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.
