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

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

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.

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

All parents are concerned about their children's well-being. As a parent of three kids, I'm very concerned about their well-being.

It's easy when you have receivers that are open all the time and an offensive line that never lets anyone touch you. It makes it fun to play.

Certainly I accept my role and responsibility as a public figure and a lot of it you take the good with the bad, dealing with different adversities in life, you just try to do the best you can do.
