I want to win some Super Bowls, and so thats really my focus, to do whatever I have to do to lead this team to a championship.

I wish I could say someone taught me my mental toughness, it would have been a lot less painful.

It's a group of guys that put their mind to going out and playing great football. Everybody that needed to step up, stepped up. Everybody that needed to make a play, made a play and that's what it's all about.

I've always known that if I got the right opportunity and the right system, I could be successful.

It changed my life in an extreme way. I dont know if you could calculate just how much it does [change your life]. There was so much notoriety for me in my first season, and to finish by winning the Super Bowl and get the MVP set my place in history. It cements it and its very special. There is something that comes with it, something everyone recognizes and knows. No one can ever take it away from you.

I expected to play well, I expected to lead my team, and I expected to win.

I believe that the Lord has a plan for each of us that's better than anything we can imagine, even if that plan isn't obvious to us at every stage. He prepared me for this over a long period of time - in lower-profile locker rooms and the grocery store and in Europe, through all the personal tragedies and in spite of the people who doubted me along the way.
