I just jumped for it like I've done a million times. ... It was like I was shot in the back of my knee with a rifle.

I had probably 10 bad minutes after the doctor told me, where I broke down. Then I focused on what I had to do.

Every time I go to the doctor, he says everything is fine and that it's strong. It's just getting over the mental part. That's tougher than getting over the physical part.

He graduated, and we're thankful for that.

This situation has nothing to do with Darren Howard's knee. This is all about Darren Howard and the New Orleans Saints not growing with each other. That's the bottom line.

I think it's important as a filmmaker, as any person working in the arts, that you've got to try new stuff and challenge yourself and take chances.
