More quotes by Ricky Williams
My whole thing in life is I just want freedom. I thought that money would give me that freedom. I was wrong.

It used to be irritating just because someone can meet you and before they would get a chance to get to know you, they’ll go find someone else’s story about who I am. For me personally, I just always think it’s more interesting to get to know the person myself.
