Football doesn’t define me. It’s what I do [and] how I carry out my faith.

It's important for me to have strong hair in case someone pulls it and tries to rip it all out.

I always try to sacrifice my body for the team.

Football is pretty much played 16 times a year, where training is kind of a year-round thing.

There are very few sports where you can find that tranquility. Some people find that in golf, but when you're in the water it's such a difference from the golf course or the basketball court. That's what makes surfing unique over any other sport.

Being compared to the greatest-ever safety is pretty ridiculous. I continue to work toward that, but I'm not there and I know that.

I've always been a very self-aware person.
