Texas was a hotbed for professional wrestling when I was growing up.

You can't be critical of Dana White.

When I first retired, I had short-term memory loss, and I started reading about neuroplasticity in the brain, about how the brain can regenerate itself, and I don't know if it can or not.

I told myself after my football career was over that if I ever started making good money again, I would invest it wisely.

I love spending money. I always have.

When a story is flying along, and I'm so into it that my 'real' world goes away, it can feel magical. I cease to be, my desk and computer ceases to be, and I am my character in his world. Psychologists call this a 'flow state,' and it's better than publication, money, awards, fame.

I made a lot of money, and I want to give something back to my country.

The money was good while it lasted. The best part was clearly that it changed my view of what's possible, as far as thinking how you can have an impact on a national level.
