If people think I'm a laid-back guy, that's their mistake.
Some guys lose their focus. They get caught up in the business deals or the endorsements, and they lose their focus. For me, it's always about football. I've never lost sight of what's making all these other things happen.
It goes without saying, winning against a good team in a hostile crowd on the road, it's just an absolutely huge win.
Anyone who waits for someone else to make a change automatically becomes the follower.
I walked around for a while angry, in a bad mood. ... 'Woe is me.' I've gotten over that. It doesn't do any good.
He had a Halloween party and I dressed up as The King. One of the more enjoyable nights I've had. Nobody recognized me. They recognized me, but they recognized me as Elvis. I might have to bring that back to Indianapolis.
I understand the seriousness of concussions.
I've been a Colt for almost all of my adult life, but I guess in life, and in sports, we all know nothing lasts forever. Times change, circumstances change, and that's the reality of playing in the NFL.
I would love to have played in the '60s. Now that would have been fun.
Some people have this impression of me: 'Boy, he's always so serious on the field. Football. Football. Football.
The head coach tells us what to do, and we follow his orders.
Imitation is obviously a great form of flattery.
Ive never taken for granted what weve had, not for one single game, not one single practice, ... Ive truly been blessed.
Whatever happens, happens. I can't give you a prediction because Jim (Irsay) and I will sit down at some point and he'll get a feel for where I am and I’ll get a sense of what direction he wants to go. Right now, I have no idea.
