Pain was something we were expected to endure. But I doubt very much if you would be entirely happy today if a doctor threw a towel in your face and jumped on you with a knife.

It was painful, but sometimes you must have these painful moments where you tear yourself away from something that isn't working.

Don't get too close, it hurts.

They said if I could deal with the pain, I should play. So, I did, and for some reason, I started hitting. It was a weird thing. I don't know if it was because I couldn't do too much, and I was just trying to stay up through the middle and not hurt myself.

I didn't really feel I was being hurt, but you could feel it.

I probably played hurt a lot more times than I should have.

I've been hurt quite a few times.

Nobody really wants to hear about anybody else's injuries. Or how your back feels. Whose back doesn't hurt?

There's a difference between playing hurt and playing injured.

Everyone gets hurt, but I've probably had the most injuries.
