You go through high school and college the same way: never listening to your coaches because you're the best. But when you get to the pros, all that stops because everybody there has talent.

I have a memory, and I can just eliminate mistakes when they come up because I've already made them.

When you lose, talk little. When you win, talk less.

Everyone is dealing with something. This is life; this is not just a piece of cake.

I think it's a feeling like I've got it all figured out. There's nothing that can shock me anymore. There's nothing I haven't anticipated; so at that point, there is a calmness.

But when Gronk scores - it was like his eighth touchdown of the year - he spikes the ball and he deflates the ball. I love that, because I like the deflated ball. But I feel bad for that football, because he puts everything he can into those spikes.

On the field, you come into sync with your teammates and coaches and together you achieve something that you could never do on your own.
