The goals and expectations that people have for me are pretty high, but ... if I were to have to compare their expectations to mine, I would say mine are ten times higher.

This is my calling, this is why I was put on this earth-to make a difference in people's lives.

I am my own biggest critic ... I'm constantly criticizing myself, constantly trying to find ways to better myself and ... compete and, you know, just be the best.

Baseball was my first sport. I wish I would have stayed with it.

Taking care of my parents is one of the things that I want to do, just give them some of the things that we never had a chance to have. It's all about remembering where I came fromt.

I feel like it's God's plan for me to play football and make a difference in people's lives.

First and foremost, I'm a running back. That's how I perceive myself.

I try to focus on practice. This is work time. This is where we work, this is our office. I try not to let it distract me too much.

I play football, and most football players are camera shy. We just want to be left alone; we just want to stick to what we do.

The history says quarterbacks get paid more than running backs, but I think it depends on the caliber of the player - what you're getting, not just what the position is.

Hope is possible, when you decide to believe that what you are hoping for is possible.

God respects me when I work but loves me when I sing.

To be is to stand for.

We eventually learn that emotional closure is our own action. We can be responsible for it. In any moment, we can choose to open or to close.

Behind every piece of paper lies a human situation.

I do like my hair being pulled from time to time, it's like a pair of reins, innit?

I was a kid who liked art and theater and dance and music, but if you lived in Harlem, high culture was somewhere else, and it wasn't black.

Recover the source of all strength in yourself, and all else will be added to you ... political freedom, the mastery of human thought, the hegemony of the world.

Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects the lore of nicely-caluculated less or more.
