I wouldn't eat a chicken if it dropped dead in front of me holding up a sign that said, Eat Me.
I've never been in trouble with the police.
Growing up with two sisters, you either play by yourself or play Barbie with them. I played by myself.
To talk about balance, it's easier to talk about what's out of balance. And I think anytime that you have any disease, and disease meaning lack of ease, lack of flow... dis-ease. So any time there's disease, you're out of balance, whether it's jealousy, anger, greed, anxiety, fear.
I think it's very easy for people to stereotype athletes, good and bad.
I've had a lot of clouds in my life since I got into pro football -- too many -- but now I feel like I can see really clearly for the first time. And I can see the Super Bowl from here.
I don't care what people think about me because I know I am more than all the pain and strife they hold inside.
Texas was such a welcoming place, and with its unbelievable history and tradition, it's extra special to be a part of that.
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 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.
When I retired, I felt that I lived more in that year than I had the previous 27 years of my life.
Well, I am now convinced there is no kind of fear or anxiety anyone has to live with.
Nine in the box... that's a football term.
I really do love football.
