“I asked my mom for a deck of cards. She said, ‘Boy, you know I don't allow no gambling.’ I was like, ‘Ma, it ain't about that.’ I would go into my room—I lived in the garage at the time—and flip the deck up. If the card was a six, I'd do six push-ups. Then if the next card was a face card, I'd do 10. An ace, 25. Joker, 50. I'd go through the whole deck like that. Then I'd reshuffle and do the same thing with sit-ups. That was my workout. I use the same cards to this day, but now I'm up to three decks.”

“As men we are built a certain way—to not share our feelings. Most of these guys I play with have pain they won't share with nobody, so what I do is share mine first. I tell them a little bit of what I've been through. That kind of breaks them down. And once you've discussed these things, it opens up a world of trust. Then when you step on the field, it creates a bond so strong. We're one mind, one spirit.”

Every moment is a new moment...So now you got to go out and show them that you a different creature now than I was five minutes ago. Cause I’m pissed off for greatness. Because you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that mean you OK with being mediocre.”
