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.

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'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.

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.

Gravity always wins

Sincerity is simplicity.

When the New York Times revealed the warrantless surveillance of voice calls, in December 2005, the telephone companies got nervous.

Probably all the books I've ever written have been efforts to define the boundaries of humanity.

Who values gold above all, considers all else as trifling.

I find the Alexander Technique very helpful in my work. Things happen without you trying. They get to be light and relaxed. You must get an Alexander teacher to show it to you.

When you compare music, you lose the joy of listening to it.

I have a great amount of respect for the audience. They know narrative construct. They know all the tropes.

We are far from the so called 'end of history,' since the conditions for a sustainable and peaceful development have not yet been adequately articulated and realized.

Like our bodies and like our desires, the machines we have devised are possessed of a heart which is slowly reduced to embers.
