came depression disturbed drove hurt imagine looking looks lost reason saw womb
That hurt me - that's what drove me into depression where I didn't care. Once I saw my grandmother and him, I lost all of what I had in me. I said, 'He's the reason she looks like that.' I'm still not out of it. I get real disturbed at night. Imagine this person you came out of the womb looking up to. It's just tough, man.
box tried
I tried to come out of the box and I stumbled a little bit. I kind of tweaked it, but it's OK.
It's a little tight; I feel it still. I don't think it's that serious. I think it's something that will feel better.
It's a little tight. I feel it right now. I don't think it's that serious. If I feel better tomorrow, I'll get in there.

average channel close easily flip football game happen homes people sit tragedy turn watch
To happen in New Orleans, being so close to Tampa, it could have easily been me or my family. I just thought, how could I sit and flip the channel and watch a football game and go on with my average day when people are out of homes and everything they've got? To turn my back on it would be a tragedy in itself.
flying open people predict timing
When I get to flying open and killing people in the stands, it?s not good. That?s when you know my timing is not right and you can predict I won?t get a hit. That?s when I tell myself to use the whole field. That?s when I?m at my best.
accept backlash complain confide deal hated knew status
They used to confide in me about how they hated it. I told them, 'You knew what you were getting into. You accept his money. You accept the status when you're around him. But you don't want to deal with the backlash of what comes out of his mouth, and you want to complain to me.'
fun people
A lot of people try to make it more than it is. But it was the same. I think it should be fun for the fans. And it was.
They made me look like I was 2 years old.
anybody bottom side trying
The bottom line, ... is why should you be trying to get anybody on your side if you're doing the right thing in the first place?
honest lights talked turn
This is nothing to be talked about, to be honest with you. Turn the lights on and I'll be ready.
