Friends may come and go, but barbecues accumulate.

I took care of my body. Your body is your business in the NFL.

I feel like there's no such thing as failure. When something doesn't go the way I want it to, I learn from it, and I accomplish more than I initially expected to.

As a football player, you're really an actor. I spent all Sunday getting into character. Sunday at 10 a.m., I have to be upset with someone who didn't do anything to me. By 11 a.m. I have to be angry. And by noon, I have to be furious.

You're whatever you think you are. People like to compartmentalize other people. I don't worry about what other people think. I'm not living for them.

My inspiration is my hometown.

Many do with opportunities as children do at the seashore; they fill their little hands with sand, and then let the grains fall through, one by one, till all are gone.
