My job is to let everybody know what I stand for and to let my light shine. I want to show others the way I live so that hopefully they follow. I can also tell about my experiences as a Christian so that I may help bring others to Christ.

People always say, and my family has said it to me, that you know who your real friends are when you're at your lowest point and you don't have a job or whatever.

I believe a lot of players that start to think about money - 'Oh my goodness; I'm up for a new contract' - they don't have a great season because they're thinking about all these different things. Do your business on the field, and everything takes care of itself.

Over the years as I went through a lot more things, I've gotten closer and closer to God as far as praying a lot more, being into the Word.

It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.

You are doomed to make choices. This is life's greatest paradox.

I guess if there is a big spiritual experience in my life, it is me becoming a mother.

I try to think of it not as writer's block, but a time where you just need to live life and experience things so you have something to write about.
