The idea was that we should take every animal in and give it our all with the intention of releasing it. But that was probably flawed.

Our intention was to respect and preserve the best aspects of the villa. We decided to enhance them, not slavishly mimic what was there.

Our intention is to have the abdomen explored and repaired.

It has to be done this year, and that is our intention.

We have no intention of allowing this to go through. We still 100 percent believe in this project and the organization, so much so that the owners are even cleaning rooms.

It was never my intention to be the highest paid player in the league, and I was never insulted by any of [the Lions'] offers. It was strictly business, and I think the deal is an amicable one for both sides. I'm really happy this has worked out and am not the least bit bitter about anything.
