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.

When I get on the field, I feel unstoppable.

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.

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 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.

Drugs made me feel more normal.

I would suggest that the next generation stop looking for happiness outside of themselves but instead turn inward.

why shouldnt things be largely absurd, futile, and transitory? they are so, and we are so, and they and we go together.

My first language is both English and Spanish. My mom was raised in Los Angeles, so with her we spoke English, but my father was born in Cuba, so with him we spoke Spanish.

The worst moment of one's life could be seared into the memory, brighter than any joy.

Love is like Pi: natural, irrational, and very important.

Paprika is evidence that Japanese animators are reaching for the moon, while most of their American counterparts remain stuck in the kiddie sandbox.

I've admired historical clothes like Victorian gowns since I was a child, and it's what motivated me to go into fashion.

It's no wonder Bob Geldof knows so much about famine - he's been dining out on I Don't Like Mondays for 30 years.

I don't like old friends talking to me like I'm a pop star, cos it makes me feel like I'm becoming two-dimensional.
