This is really a dream come true. To be the starting quarterback in the Super Bowl is probably the highlight of my life.

Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don't get hit very often.

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 care about three years ago - I don't care about two years ago. I don't care about last year. The only thing I care about is this week.

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.

I'm an emotional person. Sometimes I can't help it.

You put all the other stuff aside and go out and do your job, and mine is to be the best I can be for my teammates.
