I don't think there's a lot of carry-over from year to year. I don't think anybody cares what you did the year before.

Why do I have three Super Bowl rings and still think there's something greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would say, 'Hey man, this is what is.' I reached my goal, my dream, my life. I think, 'God, it's got to be more than this.' I mean this isn't, this can't be what it's all cracked up to be. I love playing football and I love being quarterback for this team. But at the same time, I think there are a lot of other parts about me that I'm trying to find.

I love playing football. I love playing for the Patriots.

You can't go out and practice average on Wednesday, average on Thursday, okay on Friday and then expect to play well on Sunday.

I think so highly of people who love their sport and make a really strong commitment to it.

I knew I became a professional when I stop paying attention to what time it was.

I think I have a certain respect for people, you know. And I guess a lot of times I expect that respect to go both ways.
