I'm proud of where I come from. A lot of people leave Mississippi, and their claim to fame is somewhere else. But I have so many moral values that made me the person I am now.

When I get on the field, I feel unstoppable.

With the physical mindset I play the game with, I expect to get hurt.

Pressure is what you make of it. It makes me play harder.

The tide has changed. You have to be able to improvise in today's NFL.

I actually enjoy the pain. That's what gives me the fire inside to get up and keep going.

I've never believed anyone could put more pressure on me than I put on myself. People expect great things from me. I expect great things from myself.

I want people to say when No. 9 was out on the field, he did everything humanly possible to win a ballgame.

I think I've always had the abilities, but the object has been to perform as well as I can.

The sense of urgency is real for me, because the window of opportunity is closing. Gotta get back to the Super Bowl, gotta get back there and win it.

I've learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over.

Seek what you want.

Without women, humanity will be history.

People enter different paths seeking for happiness and fulfillment. We must respect other people's individuality. Just because they're not on your path doesn't mean they are on the wrong track.

Out of the night that covers me Black as the Pit from pole to pole I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

I think that novels are one of the best means that we have to communicate both with the past and with the future.

We must pray for more prayer, for it is the world's mightiest healing force.

To yourself you are what you think. To the outside world, you are what you do.

Seeing things a human shouldn't have to see makes us human.

The discussion about food doesn't make any sense without discussion at the same time of land, land use, land policy, fertility maintenance, and farm infrastructure maintenance.
