Excerpts:

- On if he has ever been diagnosed with a mental health condition: “I never had a mental health diagnosis...I never had an issue or problem. I don’t take pills. I just got a high IQ.”

- On if he has a therapist in his life: “I tried it through the NFL, but I don’t really got time to consult with random people I don’t know about my mental space or how I look at things...Like, I’m from the pit. Most of the people we talk to, they’re from the palace. So how your lenses look at life is not how mine is.”

- On if he has any regrets for his public outbursts: “I feel like, man, everything I did, I did it ‘cause my heart believed that was what I needed to do. And in life, sometimes you’ve got to listen to your heart because that’s the only way I could go to sleep at night. So – but I believe in my heart, in my eyes, and how I look at things and things I did, I think they all promoted me to be in this position I’m in.”
