I'll know when to retire when I don't want to push myself anymore.
I suppose you retire from trying. If you retire from trying, you think, "Maybe love will just come my way if I don't want it anymore."
I don't like to write music by myself anymore. It's boring. I want the jamming, the push and pull, and the excitement that comes with it.
People say, 'Oh, so you should retire.' Yeah, you want me to retire so you won't get knocked out. I won't retire.
I find that I'm not as worried anymore about what other people think. That's a comfortable place to be. And I'm starting to let go of the feeling that I need to push myself to do things I don't want to do - an impulse that has always been linked to the feeling that I'm not enough.
Retirement is a very subjective thing. There are guys I know who retire and they're very happy and they never miss work at all. I can't see myself retiring and fondling a dog every day. I like to get up and work and go out. I have too much energy or too much nervous anxiety or something. So I don't see myself retiring. Maybe I will suddenly get a stroke or a heart attack and I will be forced to retire, but if my health holds out I don't expect to retire.
Sometimes I feel tired and think I ought to give it up, I don't want to just retire. No, I enjoy it all and you just keep going until the day comes when you can't do it anymore. And that's what I want to do.
In India, it is difficult for a cricketer to show that he is under some kind of stress. Here, you can only retire when you don't want to play anymore, or the motivation is lacking.
I’m not at peace anymore. I just want him like I used to in the old days. I want to be eating sandwiches with him. I want to be drinking with him in a bar. I’m tired and I don’t want anymore pain. I want Maurice. I want ordinary corrupt human love. Dear God, you know I want to want Your pain, but I don’t want it now. Take it away for a while and give it me another time.
That's the thing with top players, the higher you go up, the more you want. You want to push your body, push your mind, push what you want to get out of that particular season.
I want to retire here, man. The Suns gave me an opportunity to revive myself and why would I want to go anywhere?
I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself.
I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.
You know, it's funny, I know a lot of people outside of football in different businesses, whatever it is. And they're in the grind and they do this anymore and say, 'I think I've got to retire.' They get out, they see what life is like without it. Appreciate things, make a few adjustments and come back in.
Really, I don't know what I'd do with myself if I retire. Wash dishes?
I want to retire how I want to retire - and I have a great opportunity to do that.
What I find really interesting is to try and mix it up, to push myself and try different things. I don't want to stay in my comfort zone. I want to take risks and keep myself scared.
