The coaches can only take you so far. You have to want to learn and work.
I know I'm capable of greatness, and I'm expecting to reach that level.
Leadership can't be forced or contrived. It has to be your personality.
If I can slow it down in my mind, things will be fine.
As a man of faith, God doesn't bring you to things that you can't get through. He doesn't put you in a spot and then leave you out to dry.
R-E-L-A-X. I'm still getting paid millions of dollars.
Performing at my best is important to me and should be to everyone. I am blessed that my dad is a chiropractor. Getting adjusted regularly - along with practicing other good health habits that my mom helped me to establish - are all part of my goal to win in life and on the field.
Tonight is not a setback. It's just a learning experience.
I've always been supremely confident in my abilities. But the biggest confidence boost is when the guys around you, you feel like they have confidence in you.
The challenge to be the best is what drives me and to just improve my body every day.
I think you can train yourself to block out some of that pressure and replace it with confidence. It's about preparation, and the more prepared I am, the less pressure I feel and the more confident I am. As your confidence grows, it's only natural that the pressure you feel diminishes.
I've always seemed to have my best performances when I'm under the most pressure.
I’m just going to say I’m not gay. I really, really like women.
The guys who stick around are the smartest guys and the guys who are the most self-driven. You have to have drive. The coaches can only take you so far. You have to want to learn and work.
The Lord is my Rock. He has always been there, always present at good times and bad; and to me when I feel His presence, my life is full.
I'm always looking for challenges.
It's named the Lombardi Trophy for a reason, because we play and live in Titledown. We've got the best fans, and I can't wait to go home and see those fans and bring home the Lombardi Trophy.
I think very highly of myself. I think I'm capable of a lot of things on the field.
The pressure I put on myself is the only pressure I'm feeling once I get into the game.
Yeah, I want to be liked, obviously. Everybody does.
When you have success on the field, you're more popular and you have that fame that comes with it. You realize you're in the public eye more and you've got to be a little bit more careful about some of the things you're doing out in public and make sure you're smart about the things you say. You're still going to make mistakes from time to time, but you represent an even greater population and people are that much more looking for you to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or fall down or say something really stupid that's going to get you in trouble.
I want us to be a connected team-on and off the field.
The thing you realize as you get older and you play, that you don't really understand when you're a backup the first few offseasons, how important that mental rest is. It's a grind physically during the season, dealing with the hits and the physical pain that goes with playing in this game. But mentally it's probably more taxing, so you need that ability to find that escape.
Getting adjusted regularly is part of my goal to win in life and on the field.
I think as you get older, you realize there's always going to be critics. Critics are going to win every time because they can change their critique based on the stats and their own personal feelings.
