Terrell Owens
I never even watched football growing up. I just play the game.Collection: Football
As you get to know me, you kind of figure me out, that I'm not as probably as bad of a guy that I've been reported to be. I'm not that jerk.Collection: Guy
Once I step on the field, by the things I do in practice and the way I practice, you can't tell that I don't love the game. But I just know it deep down.Collection: Practice
All that matters to me now is my family.Collection: Matter
A lot of people expect to see the same type of character that they see on the field off the field, and that throws them for a loop.Collection: Character
All I can tell everybody is, I'm the same guy, just on a different team.Collection: Team
Get your popcorn ready, 'cause I'm gonna put on a show.Collection: Popcorn
I know the microphones and cameras are on me. They're looking at my gestures and taking it and running with it because of things that have happened in the past. It's very unfair.Collection: Running
Growing up as a little kid, I wasn't always this size. I got picked on a lot.Collection: Growing Up
For whatever reason, God has a plan for me.Collection: God Has A Plan
Terrell has 25 million reasons why he should be alive.Collection: Alive
Like I always said, if I'm one of the top players in the game, pay me like I'm one of the top players in the game.Collection: Player
Everybody is not going to be squeaky clean.Collection: Clean
But I know in my heart what I'm doing is right.Collection: Heart
Everybody is not going to be squeaky clean. All the guys they are giving these marketing endorsement deals are the ones going out there getting in trouble. That is what is really puzzling to me. They will take a chance on the so call good image guy and they are the ones that go out there and screw it all up. You have not seen my face go across the screen for any off the field problems, period.Collection: Giving
Exposure is exposure, whether it's good or bad. But you know what? You live and you learn, and I know who to trust and who not to trust. I'm in control of what I'm in control of, and that's me coming in here and being productive on the field. And as long as I'm keeping my nose clean and doing the right thing, then I'm OK.Collection: Long
I just feel like I know what I bring to the game. Very confident in what I do.Collection: Games
I've always been pretty much a quiet person. When I was little, I got picked on a lot. After I went through all that, I pretty much kept to myself.Collection: Littles
I feel like it was a little disrespectful but you know what I feel like, I have been successful, blessed and I keep my faith in God, man, and I just keep it moving.Collection: Moving
Everything that I have done that the media sees as an obstacle, I have over come it.Collection: Media
This is a dirty business, that is why I go out and play with my heart. I feel like football players are overworked and underpaid compared to any other sports. This is like a nine to five. No guaranteed contracts, and that is the worst thing about it.Collection: Soccer
I have done a lot of things off the field but I feel like in my heart I dont really have to publicize what I do for people because it is from my heart.Collection: Heart
But if you look at the big scheme of things, I have never failed, regardless of anything I have had to go through: from Dallas, to the sharpie, to me getting involved with a debate with my coach, a lot of people look to see my fail.Collection: People
You have a white guy as an announcer and sportscaster. Me, I'm black. I do it and I've already done some stuff in the past. We're more expressive than the white guys. You look at the skill players. We're the ones that get into the end zone. We get in the end zone more than they do.Collection: Past
When I go out there and play I just play.Collection: Play
I don't have to play for the Eagles.Collection: Eagles
I don't need the recognition and I did not expect it.Collection: Needs
I feel like I know it is from my heart and God knows it is for a good cause, it is not necessary to be made public.Collection: Heart
I feel like I'm a basketball player in a football uniform.Collection: Basketball
I feel now I can take my talent through the roof.Collection: Talent
I had my family before I played football.Collection: Football
I never had any run in with the law.Collection: Running
I have donated money to the kids overseas, the open hand project and the homeless.Collection: Kids
I left a lot - a lot - of touchdowns on the field throughout the last two or three years.Collection: Years
You have not seen my face go across the screen for any off the field problems, period.Collection: Fields
I wrote the book not to prove people wrong but just to get the insight on who I am as a person.Collection: Book
I would not have gone to Philly if I really did not have my free agency right, if I did not have a case, period.Collection: Agency
I think there is something bigger in store for me.Collection: Thinking
I'm going to have my family after I play football.Collection: Football
It doesn't matter what any of my teammates have said about me.Collection: Teammate
Don't say I don't get along with my teammates. I just don't get along with some of the guys on the team.Collection: Funny
What you see on the field is my job.Collection: Jobs
Say I had been with a guy like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Drew Brees all of my career. Are you kidding me?Collection: Careers
The only people that really matter are the people that are in my inner circle.Collection: Circles
That goes with the saying that you call on God a lot of times and you pray for things and it may not happen at that moment.Collection: May
Off the field I'm down to earth. I'm a very caring person. I'm a very giving person.Collection: Caring
But [Sunday] as you saw, it was obviously [the media] took some more than initiative to try to get me to kind of go down the wrong path. I know the last two teams that I've been on, I felt like I left those teams prematurely due to media interviews that I've done and things kind of taken out of context and they created sort of a media whirlwind in the locker room and things kind of went downhill from there. I'm just trying to do the best job I can do as far as answering the questions and trying to be a better teammate and not try to throw people under the bus.Collection: Jobs
It doesn't matter what people say about me, whether they're in Philly, or whether they're in San Francisco... all across the world.Collection: San Francisco
I'm content where I am. I know I am going to be a Cowboy for life.Collection: Cowboy
