I like to keep my surroundings low-key. I don't need much around me. I'm easy don't need a lot of racket.

What I have done in my nine year career was just a glimpse of what I can do.

Excluding nobody, I'm the best player in the National Football League.

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.

If it's early in the game and the team's not doing well, I get frustrated when I don't get the ball, because I think I can spark the team and get the crowd into it.

My concentration and focus level tends to go down sometimes when I'm in a bad mood.
