In Boston, they love their sports celebrities. And it's great.

In sports you often become part of something greater than yourself.

You don't like to see your guys take the field without you because it makes you feel like, man, maybe they really don't need me out there, which is kind of humbling.

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'm not squeezing the balls. That's not part of my process.

I approach every week the same. I think I've always tried to be very professional to how I approach the game, my preparation. Every game is important.

I feel like I have always played within the rules. I would never break the rules.
