I am not a player anymore.

I never said I wasn't going to play any more. I don't know where that came from.

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

I really don't feel like playing anymore.

You're playing or you're not playing. If you're playing, so just shut up and play.

If I could still play, I would be trying. It's been 15 years.

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

I just wanted to play as long as I could. When you stop playing, you're not going to get it back. When you don't enjoy it, that's the time to pack it in.

I still have the passion to play.

It's not about, 'Let me play as long as I can so I don't have to grow up.' It's about, 'Let me play as long as I enjoy it,' and when it's time to step away, I can step away gracefully even if I'm still good enough to keep playing, because I'm ready for that next phase.
