Coming to Houston was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up.

I think one thing as far as my learning curve and what I'm learning - there is a time to take a sack, and then there is also a time to try to find a way to maybe throw the ball at a receiver's feet.

There's nothing that can replace learning on the field.

Through the learning experiences, I've been trying to eliminate mistakes. I don't want the same mistake to happen twice.

I like to push characters to extremes so they have to make really tough decisions and there is no life more extreme than that of an athlete.

If you trust in an idea of football, and you trust in the team, it's important to have a squad with good balance.

In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.

So many people feel that once you reach a certain age then it's time for you to retire from a sport you love. I don't think that's true at all. I think age should not dictate that.
