I wanted to be a professional athlete. Young men and women from Montana don't make it to the professional level that often. And I always believed that because I was a great football player that made me better than you. And that's not the case at all.

When you're talking to potential professional athletes, I really like to talk about the fact that even though you're a great athlete, that doesn't make you a good person. And if you can build that foundation first, everything else usually follows suit.

Everybody's got some things that have happened bad in their past. Mine was just very public.

A lot of times people say they want a fresh start, but you can't really have a fresh start because it doesn't happen that way.

I believed that I was being forced to sacrifice my family and my career in defense of the Communist Party, from which I had long been separated and which I had grown to dislike and distrust.

I want to show that you can be just as amazing as labels and compete as a business and work as a business even though you're an artist.

I love singing, and I came to absolutely adore it in the later part of my career.

College was a very necessary step along the way to my professional career. As I look back, I realize how much of an eye opener it was for me in terms of moving forward and developing as a basketball player.
