Sometimes success will get in the way of maturity - at least temporarily.

I've let a lot of things go, and obviously football is one of them. I think the hardest thing to let go is your self-image. That's what I'm working on now.

I don't think people change. I think they definitely mature. But I think the essence of what I am today is the same as when I was five years old. It's just maturity. I've become a healthier, fuller expression of that essence.

Texas was such a welcoming place, and with its unbelievable history and tradition, it's extra special to be a part of that.

If you want to surf, move to Hawaii. If you like to shop, move to New York. If you like acting and Hollywood, move to California. But if you like college football, move to Texas.

I think sometimes when it comes to sports, and especially relationships between players and coaches, that people lose track, lose a sense of reality.

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