It's the most violent sport there is.

I've rolled and torn ligaments in my ankle.

When you're an undrafted guy, it's hard because... you're not going to have the first- or second-team reps all the time, obviously.

You can see something on film, but until you're really out there playing against somebody and you see him for the first time, you don't really know.

I listen to the people that know the position. People that coach me. People that I always seek advice from.

I'm always trying to grow myself.

We have a goal of winning the Super Bowl and that's just where our focus is. It's like a laser focus.

The city of Oakland, since I got here, has been like my second family. They've taken me in and had my back through the hard times and they've celebrated with me through the good times. And so, I love Oakland.

Raider Nation is everywhere, literally.

When teams see coach Gruden and myself run out on the field, they know, 'Hey, man, we are in for it mentally today.'

I don't care what stadium we play in.

Of course, anyone would want Marshawn Lynch. Any quarterback in the NFL.

Add a good player to our team? Absolutely.

I've broken a lot of things. I've torn a lot of muscles. I've torn a lot of ligaments.

Patrick Peterson, obviously, is one of - it depends who you talk to - is the best, or one of the best, corners/return guys in the NFL. You just turn the film on and you're like, 'Wow, that guy plays corner? He looks like a linebacker and runs a 4.1' or whatever. He's a great player.

Faith, family and then football. Those are my priorities now.

I think it's more important to pray for my son than go out with my friends drinking at a bar until midnight while he waits for me to come home.

Football is important, but it's not the most important thing anymore.

In my head, I'm a big Kobe fan.

There's times where I get emotionally hijacked, then I'll try and force something and do something.

Having a big brother who taught me protections and blitz recognition has helped out a lot.

People didn't question my knowledge, my throwing ability or athleticism; they questioned my ability to stand in and take a hit. So to be able to answer those questions on a week-to-week basis has been pretty cool.

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.

I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

I looked up to my parents because they were very successful in what they wanted to do. I was lucky; I didn't have to look far for role models.

Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.

The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.

Walking around sometimes, I would love to just be able to watch people, see how they act. Sometimes I would love to be invisible.

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.

I wish I trusted people more. But when I meet someone, the first thing is, 'What does this person want?' And I put up a defense mechanism. But I've always been that way.

The Yankees have strict rules. You can have a mustache but no other facial hair.

When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.

You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.

That's how you win - pitching and defense.

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.

I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.

I've been asked to sign a forehead.

I've always had an interest in business, and my interest in business has really expanded over the years.

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

I'm not a hermit, but I definitely stay in a lot more than I used to. There's more attention now then there ever was. You walk down the street with someone and it's a story. It becomes national news, you know what I mean? So, I still do things, but I stay home a lot more.
