Since my professional debut, I've always had a risky game.

I played tennis when I was younger. I don't know if I could have been a professional, but I am still passionate about it.

The big thing is to win, but to look at the long-term, you need one way to play, and the philosophy is not only to put 11 players on the pitch and play football.

Sometimes in football, you live great moments, and you live some sad moments.

When I look in the mirror, I see someone who's happy with how he looks, because I was never one of the handsome Hollywood people. And I've had success as I've gotten older, because I'm able to play characters. I no longer get the girl, but I get the part.

You learn a lot about yourself when you have success for a while. Like, a lot of things that you think are really important aren't. But you need that process.

I know publishing now more as an author than with occasional peaks inside those elite offices than as an industry insider. It was difficult publishing a novel the first time around, while working behind the scenes, knowing all that has to happen to make a book a success and to still make the leap as an author.

I love the draft process. I love the regular season. I love preparing for the games. I just love football.
