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

If you identify yourself as a great football player, anytime anyone challenges that, you're going to have some kind of problem.

If I was doing something for the money, I'd be quite miserable.

I've gotten to a point, where I realize that happiness doesn't come from the outside.

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.

Depending on their fondest memory of you, most people hold on so tightly to their fondest memory they don’t usually let you be anything greater than that. And that’s 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 it’s like for me, not other people. You can be whatever you’d like to be. You just have to choose it.

I love myself. Because I'm all that I have and if I don't love myself, no one else will. Whenever I feel myself starting to dislike something I tell myself, "This is who I am," so what's the point in disliking it?
