If you can play, you can play - and I know I can. If anyone wants to doubt that, heck - I'm more than ready to prove you wrong.

Yes, I can play. I can play. I can't play as long as I did and as hard, but I don't think I have to.

People ask me all the time would I like to still be playing? No. I'm glad I played when I played.

For one thing, when you're playing as well as I was at the time, you think you can play with anything. That isn't true, of course, but I didn't know it then.

I don't really ever think in terms of what type of person I'd love to play. I usually just read stuff and can tell. It's always fun to get to do things that stretch you and that you don't get to do a lot, but you never know until you see it.

I don't usually get to play fathers or grandfathers or uncles. Now that I'm older, maybe I can play people closer to myself. I'd like that.

I'm not going to be able to play it like somebody else.

Is my ability what it was at, say, 25 or 30 years old? Probably not, but I like to compete. I like to go out and play the game hard.

I want to play in a place people want to hear me.
