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

I got a few Mrs. Bradys in my life.

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

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.

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.

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.

As an athlete, when you are on that field and the fans get really engaged and you can feel their energy and passion and true love of the game, it is absolutely a spiritual experience.
