I'm a very competitive person.

There's more to life than football, right?

I've lived most people's dream by playing football.

You don't appreciate life until you get to the other side. Like lying in a hospital bed.

Science has very definite faith components, and most religions don't stick to faith. They venture out into making predictions about our physical world. They don't just say there's something that is completely unconnected to us. They say actually it affects a lot. And when they do that, they merge.

I needed something deeper than the Catholic faith, and Buddha helps me control myself.

I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says.

If we're not a good steward of what God gives us, he takes it away. I think that's what happened. I wasn't a good steward of the gift that he gave me in this line of work. I abused it, so he took it away.
