The butterflies I get are not if somebody boos me in the crowd, or somebody talks trash about me during the week, or somebody on ESPN rips me. It's the pressure that I'm putting on myself.

I think being recognized more is something you have to get used to, whether it's your homeland or when you're traveling. People recognize me from my play or a commercial I've done. It's just a normal part of life.

I've always seemed to have my best performances when I'm under the most pressure.

It's a special honor to be one of the leaders of this football team. But I said it once, I'll say it again, no one person wins a game by themselves. Individually, it's top of the mountain, my sport, my profession. It's what you dream about as a kid.

I think the guys are starting to rally around my leadership style and the way I do things. I've been waiting for this opportunity my whole life.

I'm not playing for anybody but the guys in this locker room.

I think very highly of myself. I think I'm capable of a lot of things on the field.
