To talk about balance, it's easier to talk about what's out of balance. And I think anytime that you have any disease, and disease meaning lack of ease, lack of flow... dis-ease. So any time there's disease, you're out of balance, whether it's jealousy, anger, greed, anxiety, fear.
I wouldn't eat a chicken if it dropped dead in front of me holding up a sign that said, Eat Me.
And I think if you look at any relationship, for the relationship to be productive and to move forward and to grow, sometimes things have to be said that one person or the other person is not going to like to hear.

I just have to keep on working and try to get better every day. That is where I keep my focus, and all of the outside stuff won't have an effect on me.
I like Ronnie. I like him a lot.
I'm disappointed with the decision, but I respect it.
I've had a lot of clouds in my life since I got into pro football -- too many -- but now I feel like I can see really clearly for the first time. And I can see the Super Bowl from here.
