Make sure, if you're willing to say something, that you worked hard enough and prepared well enough to back those things up.
If I hope for four or five sacks, and I only get two or three, that's still a good week for me, so I gotta go out there with those high hopes, those high expectations, and try to achieve them.
If you go in there with a mindset that you're gonna turn things around and make that contagious, and people start to believe in it, you can turn into a winning program wherever you go.
As soon as I step on the field, totally different person. As soon as I step off, I go back to who I've always been.
I'm going to stay respectful. The team comes first. I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize them or myself, so I'll just make sure I speak lightly and carry a big stick.
My dad gives me goals, and then I kind of go even farther beyond those.
I like to speak to my family in person. I get a bad rap because I don't use my phone enough to talk to them, but I do love talking in person, and I don't mind FaceTime, but actually, like, calling and texting, not too big on that.
You played 'Snake' on it. That's what we had a cell phone for, when my mother would let us use it. When you had it, you set it down at the table, you set it down in the other room, we ate, and you enjoyed your time with your family.
That's my goal: to be on the field as much as possible so I can make as big of an impact as possible.
If there's the opportunity to turn things around, that's what great players do. They don't complain or become complacent with losing. They just go back to work every day and try to turn things around and make wherever they are a great place to be.
I'm a regular person. I'm a regular guy. As a kid, I played games. As a kid, I liked poetry. As a kid, I liked drawing. And I never felt the need to stop doing anything. I never lost interest in them.
Don't let anyone be close to how good you are, no matter what the division is - one, two or three. It doesn't matter, everyone plays football. It doesn't matter who the competition is.
I just like to have fun on the field and make plays and have fun with my teammates.
I think I was born in the right era. But I missed out on some great music.
I've just been competitive all my life. That draws from a competitive family. We're all athletes, and we're all trying to win no matter what it is, whether it's Scrabble or basketball.
You have to have some fun playing this game.
I'm always going to be passionate about the guys we have in the locker room because they've always been OK with me - they've always done right by me - so I have no problem playing with them, going out there and sweating, bleeding, and winning with them.
People might say, 'They're this; they're that,' or I made a comment on cold weather, and they kind of pointed towards Cleveland with that. It doesn't matter to me. I'll play wherever they put me.
Sometimes you have to stutter step; sometimes you have to spin inside. You have to run some games.
Knowing that guys are out there improving and trying to take it to that next level, that gives me fire to improve my play and work on these little things that can keep me from dominating a game.
It doesn't matter if it's preseason or a scrimmage. I'm trying to have a dominant performance, whether it's preseason first series or whenever I get out there.
I'm a Peyton Manning fan.
You play because you love it, not because you can make money from it.
Whoever picks me up, I'm going to try and play my best for, to be the best player on the field at any given time.
It doesn't matter who picks me up, I'm going to try and be a franchise player for them.
