If I get a guy that can take my shots and withstand my arsenal for the first round or two, I think you're going to see the best of me coming forward.

To have the athletes weigh in on a stage, televised, it makes no sense. Holding us at weight to run us through medicals and a staging process, it lengthens the time we're depleting ourselves.

My goal is to keep going out there and defending my belt and stacking up pay cheques to set myself up for the future.

The more I stack, the more things I can buy: the more toys, the more houses, and everything. That's the motivation, but I'm also a competitive person. I need goals, and I need that competition and to drive for something.

I was not getting much time on the pitch and was in need of this time to improve and play my best football. Wenger was not prepared to give it to me. Also my position on the wing was not what I was expecting and I wasn't happy with it.

The best thing about high school football in the state of Texas is the whole town shuts down, and there's shoe polish all over businesses and stores. Everyone rallies around you.

My family belongs to a tennis club in Valencia, California, so I always go there. I play a lot of tennis with my dad and swim. And I like to go to the gym there.

As an athlete, I understood the value of my health insurance. I knew that in my profession, injuries were common and could happen at any time.
