When you wear a bow tie, doors open for you.
I will be the first black James Bond.
I started rockin' the BowTie when I was a rookie with the New York Giants.
When I'm in the Switzerland backcountry and nobody around looks like me, people were like, 'Can I touch your hair?'
Turks and Caicos is one of my favorite places to go. I've been to some really cool places and it started out when I was young by wanting to go to different places.
I'm living my future as long as you're living in the present and realize how beautiful life is.
Ideas and thoughts and creativity is more of who I am than football.
Pretty much any place that I haven't been is the next place I definitely I want to go.
I like a basic uniform for guys. Steve Jobs is my fashion icon, because he wears the same outfit every day. If you always wear the same thing, you make a statement. Then put a bow tie on and really stand out.
People look at you differently if you wear a bow tie, as opposed to a necktie.
I mean at the world as a checklist. Once you got to a place, you check them off and if you love the spot, you might check it off twice. You'll always find your way to go back to those places.
The most important thing regardless of my stats or anybody else's stats is the win-loss record. In the locker room people are always telling me, you're doing this and that. I don't really pay that much attention so long as we have a 'W' in that column; that's the kind of thing that makes me really happy. It blows all stats out of the water.
We had 10 girls in black dresses walking around with bow ties on. Guerrilla marketing.
When it all boils down, it's about embracing each others' stories and maybe even finding that synergy to collaborate for the common good.
