Life wasn't easy growing up; it was frustrating. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily, everything would have come easily, and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.

I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.

Some people look gender non-conforming because they want to look that way - they don't want to conform to society's expectations.

I spent twelve years training for a career that was over in a week. Joe Namath spent one week training for a career that lasted twelve years.

I was a hyper kid, so I didn't want to play baseball and wait for the ball to come to me. I wanted to play a sport where I could go get the ball.

I was a football fan, a kid who loved football and when you are a kid from Paris there are only two stadiums - the Stade de France or the Parc de Princes - and that is what makes Paris so special.

The only thing that bothers me is that I am in good health and that I am able to play football.

Most schools, the football players are kind of the kings in school.
