Best advice is this: Work hard. Nothing is given to you.

You can't equate the game we play to a war. Kellen Winslow said he's a soldier. No, he's not. This is not a war ... not a good comparison.

For as many people as I quote-unquote lost respect from, I gained respect from a lot more. I know that's a fact.

Each time you decide to grow again, you realize you're starting at the bottom of another ladder.
