Adversity makes me hungrier. I thrive on being able to make a way out of no way.
Thank you to my family, my fans and fans of other teams for their support. The NFL is a fraternity of brothers and I am thankful for the tweets, phone calls and text messages from my fellow players. God Bless everyone and thank u so much.
We are human, so we do go through pain and we struggle with things, but it's all about how you respond to a situation. My whole life, I've been responding in a positive way and keeping a positive mind, keeping God first in my heart, in my mind. No matter what wrong I've done, I know who sees the heart.
I remember my mistakes more than my success.
I dedicate myself and work hard in the weight room and treat every practice as if it were a game.
If you don't think that you're the best, how do you become the best?
I take football as an avenue to different opportunities. Football is not using me; I'm using football.
My dad means a lot to me. He's the one who put a football in my hands.
I'm pretty sure I could outrun the whole Dallas Cowboys team.
I run angry. Football allows me to take out some of my pain on the field.
I have always believed that the way my parents disciplined me has a great deal to do with the success I have enjoyed as a man.
With trials, you become wiser. You learn more about yourself and the people surrounding you. Me personally, I've never been the type of person to judge anyone over wrongdoing, no matter what it is. I'm just not a judgmental person.
I have to continue to be a great leader and contribute in any way that I can, and get guys to follow suit. That's how you turn a team around.
I would sacrifice 1,000 yards rushing to win a Super Bowl. But I want to be the first back to have back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons.
I want people to come to the game to see what I will do next.
The first two months were painful and they really tested my manhood because there were times I didn’t want to get up because I was in pain. That willpower has to kick in.
I love my son. I love my kids, my family. Like I said after I took the misdemeanor plea, I take full responsibility for my actions.
At the end of the day, it's hard to win against the NFL. It's a billion-dollar business, it's hard to win against it. They can manipulate a lot of different things. They can pull strings, they know people. At the end of the day, nine times out of 10, they are going to win.
I have the mentality that if you come in playing not to get hurt, that's when you're going to get hurt. So I play relentless.
Jesus Christ - He means the world to me. So many different situations I've been through, through my childhood and now my adulthood; I lost my brother at a young age. He got hit by a car right in front of me. I had to be strong for my mom.
I want to be the best player to ever play this game.
It feels good to give back to the people who support you.
I know that many people disagree with the way I disciplined my child. I also understand after meeting with a psychologist that there are other alternative ways of disciplining a child that may be more appropriate.
I like to bless people and do things without the world knowing about it, because I'm not in it for the glory. I do it because it comes from my heart. As long as I keep doing that, I'm satisfied.
I understand that my son loves me and I love him, and everything just really got blown out of proportion, and I'm OK with that. I'm still here. My son is around me all the time. At the end of the day he still loves me and I love him, so it is what it is.
