I had an expectation going into the NFL, and then the experience that I had exceeded what I expected to see from people that played at that level. And so, it was a learning experience not only from a mental standpoint and a physical standpoint, but just a routine standpoint.

The nice thing about BYU is that it takes in a wide area. There would be times where we'd travel and be on the road, and we'd have more fans than the home team that we're playing, a lot of really loyal fans.

I don't want to put off negative vibes to my teammates. That's kind of my leadership mentality.

The NFL - that's my No. 1 goal. That's what I want to do.

I'd always loved to read - and come from a family of readers - but I never thought about writing as a career.

Oracle is my second job ever that did not involve waitressing. But I still have my waitress apron just in case this does not work out. It's just that I fell in love with software when I was programming in college. When I was an investment banker, there were mostly mainframe companies and very few software ones.

It is funny now, but in the beginning of my career, some of the films failed at the box office, and filmmakers stopped casting me, saying I am bringing bad luck to their film.

I don't think you need any kind of backing here in the industry. I think what you achieve in your life is the result of your own talent and hard work.
