I really enjoy surfing a lot. It's an awesome sport. With surfing there are no mind games versus Peyton Manning, or versus anyone else. It's not me trying to throw a certain shot put further - or to put a ball in a hoop, it's just me against mother nature.

In football, you're taught to react by being aggressive, taught to react with violence. If you can't separate that on the field and off the field, you're going to be in a lot of trouble in your life.

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.

Playing professional sports, it's important to eat healthy and take care of your body. In the offseason, rest is really important to me.

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

I have developed a Samoan mentality. You have to be a gentleman everywhere but on the field.

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