I won't take bullcrap from anybody.

I love making the big play. I love being out there with my teammates. I love the camaraderie. I can't say I always love practice. But it's a means to an end.

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.

From the very beginning, I wanted to be the best, whether it was sports or poetry.

Boxing is kind of like football in that you test each other's desire to be there.

I want to take care of my family for generations. I want to have my head turned into a bust in the Hall of Fame.

You have to have some fun playing this game.

Make sure, if you're willing to say something, that you worked hard enough and prepared well enough to back those things up.

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.

'Faithfully' speaks to me. It's about a guy who's busy with his work, always on the road, but I'm still completely into you. If you just hold on, I'll completely give myself to you. Just stick along for the ride.

I want the single-season sack record.

I can't go out there and be gassed and trying to go out there and make a play just for individual stats. Got to do the best thing for the team, which is to put myself out there when it's most productive for us.

Nobody is 100 percent every play, you know - eight, nine plays down the drive. Sometimes you do look back at it and say, 'Dang, I could have gave more effort there, or I loafed it a little.' But you work on those things.

I grew up with Ray Charles playing in the car all the time or playing in the house.

More people should stand up and not be afraid to do things that mean something to them.

I want to be the greatest. The greatest that ever played, regardless of position or era.

I feel I'm athletically superior to most of the guys I go against.

Regardless of whether I'm sitting on the bench or out there participating, I'm going to give my all whatever I'm doing.

My dad gives me goals, and then I kind of go even farther beyond those.

I don't want to have to be taken out because I'm tired or I need a breather.

I want to be dominant from day one.

I'm trying to be better every single day.

Every play I give max effort because it can make the game.

Everything has a right to live.

I can give it my all and make plays and dominate my side of the field, but it takes all 11 guys with a certain thought process that we're going to go out there, and we're going to win.

I want to be more than prepared for the game, for the preseason, for the season.

I have to live up to my expectations - which is to break all the records that I can, dominate by a wide margin.

It's kind of hard with two moves. I feel like you can't always be so predictable. You can be as strong or fast as you want, but speed-chop and power move aren't always going to work.

Just to see how much time is consumed looking down at your phone when you could be reading, becoming better at your own language, or learning a new language - you could be doing so many productive things. You could becoming a better student-athlete.

When I'm traveling for away games, I'm reading.

You just gotta back up your words. Don't be scared from it, or don't shy from it.

You'll see me everywhere, inside, outside. Only place you won't see me is maybe safety.

I want to be the greatest player who has ever been at my position, the greatest player who has ever played.

I'm too competitive to try and ride on somebody's coattails to get a W.

You want to be Defensive Player of the Year.

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.

One person can't win games.

I just like to have fun on the field and make plays and have fun with my teammates.

Whatever happens, if I don't make any plays that game, hopefully I can have an effect where I'm distracting two or three blockers, or I'm getting my hands up so I can bat down balls.

I feel like everybody's on the same level. Nobody's done anything more important than any other. People have gifts in other areas. You weren't blessed with them; they were blessed with them.

I can never get tired of helping people.

A great team versus another great team, your performance is going to go down. But my job is to improve my consistency where, when I dominate against the lesser teams, go and do well and do the same amount of work when I'm going against the Alabamas and the LSUs, and it will come.

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.

That's my goal: to be on the field as much as possible so I can make as big of an impact as possible.

I gotta win. Winning is just not enough. I have to do my best.

It doesn't matter who picks me up, I'm going to try and be a franchise player for them.

When I'm sitting in my hotel room, I'm reading. If I've got some time after class, I'm reading. If I can get away with it while I'm doing treatment, I'm reading.

I'm going to love whatever team and organization that I'm a part of.

I'm not really a swagger guy.

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.
