I'm closer to being happy. I'm doing things that make me happy. In football I loved to practice and I loved to play, but I hated to be in meetings, hated to talk to the media, hated to have cameras in my face, hated to sign autographs. I hated to do all those things.

I'm nice because, when I was growing up, so many people weren't nice to me, and I remember how that felt. And I don't want to make anyone else feel like that. I value nice.

I really do love football.

Well, I don't think I've necessarily ever been a passionate football player or a passionate person.

There is no need to smear my name or to defame my character for the sake of news.

Football is my job, not my life, but it's a job I'm going to give my all for as long as I'm in it.

I got high, and forgot I wasn't supposed to get high.
