I am more mature now and know how to deal with certain situations in football. It's not all about highs; there are also lows, but I can deal with it. Football is a hard business.

You have different sorts of people in life, so why should it be any different in football?

I think I'm pretty misunderstood, because I'm not just about football.

Football is big business - you can't get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

What happens is once you start to understand football, you realise that it's not just about the physical side of the game and chasing after a ball. It's a strategic sport which requires a lot of intelligence. It's a very mental game.

When it comes down to it, you're playing football regardless of what offense you're in.

I'm more akin to football than I think anything else because that's what I played in high school.

I've been through a lot off the field. I think that kind of translates onto the field. Football serves for a lot of life lessons, and so it allows me to stay humble and continue to work.

Football is a game you're supposed to have fun in.

We try to play football; don't forget it, right. My teams always in my career try to play football. I cannot control the other circumstances.
