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

At this stage of my life, I've dedicated myself to playing what I want to play, how I want to play it for the rest of my time. Regardless of whether one might like it or one might not like it, this is where I am.

What I don't want to do is just play for the sake of playing.

I just want to play my game.

I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be.

The game of football is something I dearly love, and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.

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

I don't think it's a matter of, do you win the game or not, it's how gracefully do you play it.
