I didn't know who my daddy was until I was 10 or 12. Surprising as it may seem, he was living right across the street.
I'm not gonna waste your time, so I wouldn't expect you to waste my time.
I'm going to have my family after I play football.
I've only been on one vacation ever. I just went to Acapulco before training camp.
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.
I've never really thought of myself as having an ego. I've always found myself as having a lot of confidence. I know I have a lot of great ability. I know what I bring to the table.
I'm smart enough to know when I've done something wrong, but I don't understand this. Guys are beating their wives, getting DUIs and doing drugs, and I get national attention for a Sharpie? People are personally attacking me, calling me a classless asshole because I did something creative during a game. Why?
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.
When I was a kid, I'd watch pro football on TV and I'd see someone make a play and I'd say, 'I wish that could be me.' But then I'd have to wonder, 'Could I make that big play?'
You have not seen my face go across the screen for any off the field problems, period.
The only people that really matter are the people that are in my inner circle.
Off the field I'm down to earth. I'm a very caring person. I'm a very giving person.
Like my boy tells me; if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.
I think at some point during the course of the game, I will have an impact - whether it's blocking or whether it's catching the football.
