I don't worry about getting tired. I try not to let it guide me as far as how much I'm going to play. I play with my heart.

If something's wrong with my body, I make sure to address it right away and not try to let it linger because it creates a bigger problem. You just have to understand your body, and when your body tells you something you just have to react.

When you're a little kid, you want the ball. You don't want to play defense. When you get the ball, basically you can do whatever you want.

I'm not perfect, but I know when I start to do something, I don't like to not finish.

The street is where we all learn. I played organized football growing up as well, but when that was over, I went right to the street. I remember twisting my ankles, breaking my thumb, I hurt everything when I was little playing street ball.

I think as a veteran player, in general, you should feel that sense of responsibility to try to lead these guys to becoming good pros. You want the league to be in good hands, and you want these guys to become great NFL players and then pass it along to the next generation. You can only lead by example, and that's pretty much what I'm trying to do.

When I look back, I'm glad I grew up in a small town. There, it's just you, your family and whatever you make of it.
