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

I think sometimes in life the biggest challenges end up being the best things that happen in your life.

Life is not living in the suburbs with a white picket fence. That's not life. Somehow our American culture has made it out that that's what life needs to be - and that if it's not that, it's all screwed up. It's not.

Sometimes some of the toughest things you deal with end up being the best things because you realize the people that you can rely on, that love you and support you through it.

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.

I'm pretty chirpy. I can talk a little too much smack.

There's a lot of people who don't like Tom Brady and I'm OK with that.
