"I made promises to you that I'm not sure I can keep. None of it has anything to do with you. It's just that I don't know what to do now. You must be thinking what a rotten person I am. Well, believe me, I'm thinking the same thing. I don't know how this happened or why. Maybe I can get over it. Do you think you can waitâ€”because I don't want you to stop loving me. I keep remembering us and how it was. I don't want to hurt you â€¦ not ever â€¦"

“I was scared every time I put on a uniform and stepped on the field. Iâ€™m scared every day I go into the studio and I come on stage because I fear that I will not live up to what is expected. I fear that somebody who spent a lot of money to come into our studio, to come to New York and theyâ€™ll walk away and go, â€˜I could have stayed at home.â€™ I feared that as a player a fan would come to the stands and I wouldnâ€™t perform well. Just the way Iâ€™m built. Iâ€™m more scared of failure than I am excited about the accolades that come with success.”
“Do not put all your goods in hollow ships.”
