I'd like to think that my mentors, I've had the highest of education and one thing I've always noted, they were always writing stuff down, taking notes.
You always want to give yourself an edge, want to help your team win. That's pretty much going to preparation.
When you're Kobe Bryant, you've got every little young guy coming at you every night, and it's you who's still got to carry the team. When he tore his Achilles... I just felt bad. I knew he was going to come back and be Kobe Bryant.
I have played with a torn bicep before. I have come back from a torn Achilles before. So I guess it's just in my DNA.
I'm a big historian. Big JFK fan. I got to take a picture under the official JFK White House portrait.
Sometimes, you can be your own thing that hurts you. It's you. It's like knowing too much of the game when really all you need to do is play the thing that's really happening in front of you.
I thought Ray Lewis was 6-6, 275 pounds, all muscle. I did a commercial with him before I even got drafted to the Baltimore Ravens. I was like, 'Oh, you're not that tall.' But it's just something about that guy.
Born and raised in St. Paul. I was a St. Paul Johnson Governor for the first quarter of my freshman year. Then I moved to Phoenix.
Like I always said, Carson Palmer got hit in his knee in 2005 but there was no rule made. Then Tom Brady got hit in his knee and all of a sudden there is a rule and possible suspensions, excessive fines - it's just getting ridiculous.
There's only one Ed Reed, man. No matter how you coach it, no matter how you line it up, there's only one Ed Reed.
The league has to be sensitive about what crosses the line and what doesn't. It's tough to determine what is a legal hit and what isn't a legal hit, and if someone was deliberately trying to hurt someone or not. A certain integrity, though, has to be maintained.
There are only a certain amount of years you can play this game, and it's even a lower amount for a running back.
I love playing ball. I love being Sizzle. When the time comes for me to just be a full-time dad, a full-time actor, writer, director, producer, I will do all that.
I love to go play in Pittsburgh. I try to have as much fun as I can... I love being Public Enemy No. 1. I believe it's the greatest honor one can have.
We've seen a lot of Ravens that will always be known as Ravens not have the opportunity to finish their career here.
I think it was everything about him: his work ethic, his desire to be the best football player that he can be. He just woke up and he was just Ray Lewis, so he did pretty much everything great. He was a great teammate.
I can't practice every practice or play every play like, 'Oh, I'm trying to get in the Hall of Fame.'
I think my reputation speaks for itself. But everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and I'm going to continue to play football - play physical football.
I know that everybody is not going to be a Terrell Suggs fan, and that's fine. For the people that are, I'm going to be myself and they are going to love me and they are going to enjoy it.
I think naturally I've been kind of a lead-by-doing guy. Just showing up to work every day. You never ask teammates something you wouldn't do yourself.
I'm a superhero that knows how to have a good time. I'll get behind the DJ booth and get on the ones and twos and get the party going.
You never want to hit your cruising altitude; you always want to be ascending with your game. You can always get better.
I can never rest. I need to always do more. I always want to do more. I'm never going to be satisfied. That's it: Never be satisfied.
When I'm done with football, I want to be done with football. I don't want to have, Oh, did I leave too early?
