It's the only way I think I'm ever going to walk away from the game, is to go ahead and say I'm going to, and then I've got to. There's no turning back now - win, lose or draw.

I've given everything I can possible to the game, on and off the field.

If that's the way the game is played, I don't want to play anymore.

I live with the fact that while I am playing, I am going to give everything I have, and I will live with those consequences.

My desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it. I have searched my heart through and through and feel comfortable with this decision.

I've learned lately that no one is going to hand me a permission slip and tell me to take time out for me.

I feel fortunate that I was able to step away from it when I wasn't interested.

I'm not not going to stop giving away what I feel about something.

I will not quit this game because of what the media has done to me.
