I approach football like a street-ball game, like I'm playing with the fellas in the yard.

A lot of guys see the complexity of the game; I see the simplicity.

I'm a free spirit. A spirit that evolves. I'm a diamond. I'm just refining it. Polishing it. Glossing it up.

The thing I see for myself is to be the best ever.

I want to do something extraordinary, not just make a tackle. I want to make people's eyes widen, like, 'God, you see that?

It means everything. Making my father happy, that's my biggest joy.

God is light of the world.

I treat politics kind of like my religion. It’s something I believe in, but I don’t want to have to make a living at it, because if you make a living at it, you somehow become dishonest.

In my neighborhood, when you've got something to say to a guy, you look him in the eye and you say it to him.

The rattling thunderbolt hath but his clap, the lightning but his flash, and as they both come in a moment, so do they both end in a minute.

The central task of science is to arrive, stage by stage, at a clearer comprehension of nature, but this does not at all mean, as it is sometimes claimed to mean, a search for mastery over nature.

In my home, who is my boss? If you ask my wife she'll say certainly not her. She claims that she can't make me do anything and so she's not my boss. I am. I'm pretty sure, maybe.

As you get older you also start to lose your anger a bit.

Frankly, I've got to admit that I'm not perfect and have made some mistakes as some of the colourful stories about me reveal.

My father has always been supportive of my individuality.
