I've always just loved to play football, even if it was street football, like razzle-dazzle.

I try to have fun with the fans, try to have fun.

Nobody controls me but my mama and God.

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

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

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.

When I got drafted by Minnesota, and I think I said this a couple weeks ago, I think I felt obligated to bring a Super Bowl to Minnesota.
