What strikes me most about Best Buddies International is the simplicity and magnitude of the mission. Friendship is a simple idea.

The only thing I really like doing during the week is getting ready to play the game.

If I feel anxious every time someone is staring at me, well, I can't control what they stare at, but my reaction is, I'm just not going to go outside the house. I'm going to stay in and chill. And when I do go out, I understand what comes along with that.

I've always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I've always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

You know, watching Dan Marino and Steve Young get nominated to the Hall of Fame... those guys are unbelievable and they did it for so long. I'd love to play like those guys, but there's still a long way to go and a lot of growing.

I think you can just go out and try to be the best you can be, deal with people with respect, with honesty, with integrity, have a high moral standard. I've always really tried to exemplify that as an athlete. I'll continue to try to do that.

I love Serena [Williams]. Seeing what Serena's done in her field has been incredible.
