The moment I started treating my social anxiety disorder, I started feeling better.
I had a lot of friends in high school and in college, and we had a good time.
Well, I am now convinced there is no kind of fear or anxiety anyone has to live with.
The money is what made me miserable. I want to be free of that stress.
I've gotten to a point, where I realize that happiness doesn't come from the outside.
Sometimes success will get in the way of maturity - at least temporarily.
I don't feel like my speed or my power or my desire to play this game has diminished at all.
The people that I see on the street, they treat me more as a human being and not just an icon or a football player.
I stepped away to find out more about myself, which I was having difficulty doing as a football player. I got a chance to travel the world. I studied Eastern philosophy, and I've grown as a person so much.
As an athlete, you figure you work your whole life to have what you have, and to be able to show the world what you have and how proud you are of it, that's always fun.
I like to live in places that are kind of off in the cuts so people can't really find me even if they wanted to.
I allowed myself to think if I could be doing anything in the world, what would I be doing? And what came to mind is I'd be traveling a little bit, I'd be going to classes and I'd be going back to school.
It's good to do things slow in the bush. It makes you appreciate everything a lot more.
People are hungry because they're eating empty foods. Mine are full, and so am I.
I really do love football.
Anytime you play a team sport, the success of the team really makes everything better. It's nice.
And I think if you look at any relationship, for the relationship to be productive and to move forward and to grow, sometimes things have to be said that one person or the other person is not going to like to hear.
I've never been in trouble with the police.
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.
Human beings aren't supposed to be controlled and told what to do.
