America needs football. It's a real blue-collar sport; it's played with a blue-collar mentality, a mentality that's the backbone of this country.

Anybody who's away from what's normal is just kind of pushed aside as, 'Oh, he's crazy.' But in reality, this world is crazy. It's just chaos everywhere. It's really hard to be part of this world, because it's very possessed. And very egocentric.

The barefoot component of my training is about strengthening the toes.

Whenever I do the sign of the cross, it always brings comfort in situations when you are faced with adversity and stress.

Some days I'm just flipping through the iPod trying to get pumped, some days I don't want to listen to anything and just focus. From game to game from day to day, whatever people do to motivate themselves, they do. I do all kinds of things.

I know where I'm supposed to be at the time of the snap. Now, where the play dictates I'm going to go is a different story.

A big hit is all part of the game. If you want to make a lot of big hits, you forget about the one you just made and move onto the next one.
