My conviction is that a full professional also wants to live professionally.

You have to deal with a lot of things when you are a professional football player, and that is not so easy.

I have a philosophy. I was convinced of it, and by winning trophies in four countries, I proved the philosophy worked.

You are always evaluating. That philosophy is very important for me. Because of that, I am - or maybe I should say was - a very successful manager.

I began my legal career working for Byron White, the last Coloradan to serve on the Supreme Court, and the only justice to lead the N.F.L. in rushing. He was one of the smartest and most courageous men I've ever known.

There's this notion, kind of like unspoken, that you can't live your dreams and be a mom. You can't have a career and be a mom. There's still that preconceived notion, and I reject that.

I know in my situation, my mind works more than everything else. I've been like that my whole career.

My career's consisted of all of those things that you hope would one day lead to being a series regular, and then your dreams grow from there. My career has been very steady, and I've been blessed in that I've been given everything that I can handle, at the right time.
