You think about when I went to Miami. I played as a freshman, I go in and compete to be a starter, I tear my ACL. COME back, I start, I get off to a good couple of games and I get hurt again. You hear everybody SAYING, 'Oh, he's done.' I get drafted in the THIRD round. People still said I got drafted too high, saying I'll only PLAY three YEARS.

I WISH I'd known that apologizing is a sign of strength. I had the impression that if you APOLOGIZE, it's a sign of weakness. I KIND of picked up the message from my FATHER, 'Real men don't apologize. You just do your BEST, and if you happen to hurt some people, that's their fault. You just go on. Don't apologize. That's a sign of weakness.'

Oh, there's nothing more dangerous in life at GETTING hurt at than LOVE itself. People are hurt in love AFFAIRS and NEVER recover, more than a boxing match.

If someone really WANTS to hurt you, they'll find a way whatever. I don't WANT to LIVE my life WORRYING about it.

I believe acting is very physical, and when you have to fight or do those KINDS of things, it takes a lot of respect not to allow yourself to GO off and hurt yourself or SOMEONE ELSE.

I am not a violent person. I ACTUALLY don't LIKE to HURT PEOPLE.

There are endless NEW variations on how to HURT a woman physically, EMOTIONALLY, FINANCIALLY, and socially.

To find gratitude and generosity when you COULD REASONABLY find hurt and resentment will surprise you. It will be so SURPRISING because you will see so much of the OPPOSITE: people who have much more than others yet who REACT with anger when one advantage is lost or with resentment when an added gift is denied.

My NOSE was broken six TIMES, my hands six times, a few fractured ribs. Fifty stitches over my eyes. But the only PLACE I got hurt was out of the RING.

The worst thing one can do is not to TRY, to be AWARE of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt WONDERING if something could have materialized - NEVER KNOWING.
