"All a lot of women see are dollar signs." — Tony Dorsett

I was pretty hot-tempered all through school. I remember my high school basketball coach telling me: 'Boy, if you don't learn to control that temper, you're gonna kill somebody.'

Marriage was probably the worst mistake I ever made in my life.

I'm me. I can't put on airs. I'm not a phony. I know the way I am hurts me more times than it helps. But somehow it's all tied up with my integrity, and my integrity is the last thing I'm going to let you take from me.

No parent or coach can be true to any child and say he's ready for the N.F.L. out of high school.
