I get paid to practice. I play the game for free.

You see a hockey player, you'd never know he's a professional athlete. But you put the skates on him, and he becomes a beast.

I'm afraid of being average. I have a real fear of being just another linebacker.

No excuses and no sob stories. Life is full of excuses if you're looking. I have no time to gripe over misfortune. I don't waste time looking back.

I'm not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you'll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside. It ain't going to happen.

I had parents who instilled in me the importance of love, morals and hard work. I give God all the glory because he has brought me through so much.

In order to gain the respect of your players in the locker room, you can't just perform on Saturday. You have to do it consistently during practices, meetings, and in the weight room.

Leadership comes with consistency.

The past isn't going to get you to your goal.

I'm not afraid to fail. I'm afraid to be mediocre.

I want to be the best. That's just the human way.

The goal is always just trying to stretch yourself as an actor.

I have great appreciation for people who do anything well. I think that it's very difficult to do what you do well.

I always had a fascination with twins.

I think my capacity to change has given me tremendous happiness, because who I am today I am completely content to be.

Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself

The more violent the storm the sooner it is over.

Live your life like you are 80 years old looking back on your teenage years
