I look at it this way. I'm not putting age limits on what I can do. As long as I can do the job to help the team win and feel like I'm playing at a high level, which I feel I can do for a long while, I'm going to play no matter what my age is.

If I don't explain or tell some of my experiences, I feel like I'm doing guys a disservice because I know as a younger player, there's things I could benefit from the experience of an older guy.

Young players are starting to come up as well and they will see me as one of the older, experienced ones.

What I would tell young players is that as you get older, the best thing you can do is try to have other interests and have opportunities.

In past generations, people would try to play younger than they really are. My trick is, I don't try to play younger than I really am.

I've always played way older than my age. It's the experience behind my eyes or something.

The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.

If you ask any of my close friends, they know I always complain that I never get to play my age.

You can play older than yourself. You can play younger than yourself up to a point, and then that just becomes impossible because you carry a weight with you that you can't shift, unless you have very boyish looks.

Age is just a number. When I started, I never worried about how long I was going to play. I had very specific goals, and that's what I really chased.
