If football was a drug, I would have died from overdose.

Purpose without virtue is vanity.

I always live in the present. I never dream about what might happen. Why? It might not.

I've always been a sad person. I'm a happy person too, but it's a thing in my brain or my spirit or something, I'm just sad and really acutely aware of mortality and loss.

I don't know what to say about myself. I don't know myself (laughs). People say my humility but I believe we're all humble in our own way. I try to stay close to my family and friends.

I know my statistics have not been the same as in other years but I'm fighting to get back to those statistics.

If you find someone with wisdom, good judgment, and good actions; make him a companion.

Don't mind what people say to you, find out what you have in yourself and do your best, that is the only hope in life

There is no merit to discipline under ideal circumstances. I must have it in the face of death or it is worthless.

I was in like nine schools by ninth grade, so I moved a ton of times when I was younger.

The insane, on occasion, are not without their charms.

Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie.
