When you're rich, you don't write checks. Straight cash, homey.

In a way, I am what they say I am. I am a hard-ass. I'm hard to get along with. Most of the time I'm moody. All that's true. I got no problem with people saying that.

I don't care about my image. I'm already paid. I've already got my money, so why worry about my image?

I love the game so much. I've been penalized. I've been fined. I have some regrets in my career. But for those four hours on Sunday, you can be free and just let it all go. Retiring had nothing to do with football; it had to do with my family.

I'm still overwhelmed and, at the same time, kind of star struck that I am part of this New England Patriots organization.

It's not my fault that people don't know me. I'm going to speak my mind, no matter what the consequences are.

I Play When I Want to Play.
