I didn't think of football growing up. This wasn't my career, something I chose. It was something I was picked in.

You just gotta do it, man. You can't count on the guy making the tackle in front of you.

I feel like I'm just going to go full speed and tackle. If that means there is friendly fire on my guy, then that's what I gotta do. I try not to do that because I know I'll lay a big hit on them, but if that's what I gotta do, that's what I'll do just to make sure that tackle gets made.

The coaches can't be out there to tackle for us; we have to do that, like I say, starting with myself.

There is a certain way that I play. You just have to have a feel for it. That's something you have to feel as a football player.

That's the whole part of playing football and having training camp. Coming in and recognizing how players play.

I'm not worried about sacks in the preseason.

You get older, you can't stay the same. You can't eat the same. You have to change things to get better.

You put in the work, you should get to the playoffs.

There's not really a guy like me out here doing it with 7 1/2 fingers - still.

I teach some of the guys stuff that I've learned.

Me, personally, I'm going to be out there running full speed and chasing down running backs and chasing down quarterbacks. That's what I do best.

I think like that all the time: nobody can block me, nobody can stop me, nobody can play the run the way I can. You've got to think like that all the time.

When other teams fear you, that's a big difference.

I think I am worth a lot of money.

I'd love to be a Giant for the rest of my career.

Anytime you have an injury, you're going to be iffy about stuff.

You never can stop learning.

I'm just god-gifted: I have a talent. Even when I played basketball, no one ever taught me the game. I just played it. And with football, I just converted basketball to football and just played.

If I'm not capable of doing it, I won't do it. But you're going to get 120 percent of me every time I'm on the field.

As a bowler, you have to constantly have to learn new things, and that's been my main aim all the time.

I want to keep on adding new skills to my armoury.

Not chasing success, I want to focus on my process. If I do that, eventually everything gets sorted out.

As a bunch, when you're getting wickets, it's always good. You can create pressure from both ends.

I always wanted to play Test cricket, but people have only seen me in first-class cricket. I was always confident that, whenever I get a chance, I would be able to do well.

I'm not shy.

Self-belief, I think, is my biggest strength. The mental toughness comes into play whenever the chips are down.

If the team wants me to bowl first-change, I am happy to do that. If they want me to bowl with the new ball, I am happy to do that.

Earlier, I only used to get the ball into right handers. Over the years, I have developed some variations, thanks to first-class cricket and IPL.

I used to play tennis ball cricket quite a lot before playing serious cricket. Over there, you bowl yorkers. That could be the reason I bowl yorkers.

England has the flattest wickets.

Back in 2014, I injured my left knee badly.

In practice, I don't only bowl yorker.

I love bowling and could bowl, bowl, and bowl.

When you see the stumps flying, that's the best feeling.

I don't focus on what the experts are saying or not.

Whenever I go to a new country, I always plan in advance. Before visiting the country, I have a look at a few videos: what works over there, what the home team does over there.

In white-ball cricket, things are different - over there, you outsmart the batsman, and over here in Test cricket, it's all about patience and consistency.

It's always better for the bowlers to stick to a line and length, and that helps you get wickets.

Bowlers have to adapt all the time.

I try to keep things simple. Reading and analysing the wicket as soon as possible is important. Sometimes you run after wickets, but I focus on team goals - what the team wants me to do right now.

The things you do early on, people don't know, but once they start studying videos and know what to plan, they know what to expect. So you have to keep on evolving, and according to situations, you have to adapt, because if you are just a one-trick pony, that won't work for a long period of time.

It's always difficult when you bowl at the death.

The only focus for me is on my preparation, my execution, and what I can do for the team.

You can't be taking every opinion seriously.

Whenever a plan works, it's a good feeling.

You bowl according to situations - whether at the death or at the beginning.

IPL has helped me tremendously.

Nowadays, with technology coming into cricket, people start to analyse, and if you only have one or two tricks, people will start to line you up.

My focus is to always enjoy and bowl good lines and lengths.
