There's gonna be people that don't like you, regardless. But I take on the mentality of, 'Look, I'm gonna do whatever I want to do. If people don't like, they don't like it.'

When you're in the National Football League, and you get this window where all eyes are on you, you can use that. You can use that platform for good.

I eat two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners throughout the day. It's always eating.

If you're an outsider looking into my life, you're thinking, 'That dude is crazy. He's literally crazy.'

I just go out there every game and try to be the best I can be for our team.

Basically, I want that relationship where we have that love. I love her so much, and she loves me so much that it's just - you want that relationship where you look into the girl's eyes, and you know that she's everything you've ever wanted. When I find that, I'm going to get it!

There are games where I go a whole game without saying a word. There are games where I'm talking the whole game. It really depends on the mood and vibe that I'm in that day.

Football has been everything to me since I was 10 years old.

Every year, I take 10 of my best friends from high school on a trip. That's kind of my way for saying thanks to them for being so loyal, for keeping me honest, and for just being great friends throughout this craziness.

My schedule is so crazy.

The way I look at it is that somebody in the world, no matter what your field is - teacher, violinist, football player - has to be the best. Why not me?

Over the years, I've learned a lot about nutrition and about myself, so it's a lot more based on feel. I stopped putting a number on it because people were analyzing it too much.

I live with the fact that while I am playing, I am going to give everything I have, and I will live with those consequences.

I want to be the defensive player to break the MVP barrier. I want to break barriers. I want to do things when people tell me I can't.

It's a very violent game, and bodies take a beating, so you want to make sure you do everything you can to get your body back. It's just something you have to do.

I want to coach high school football, and that's always what I've wanted to do.

It sounds weird when you complain about having to eat so much, but it's like a job.

I have three Defensive Players of the Year. Only one other player has done that. But being a defensive lineman, it's hard to control the game.

I know I'm going to be remembered for football. That's why I work so hard at it.

When budget cuts happen - which has been happening a lot in this country - after-school athletics and after-school music are some of the first things to go.

When I picture myself after football, it's down home, coaching high school football, just a relaxing, normal life.

I never want to let a day go by without having done something to get a little better.

It's literally, if I'm not working out, I eat the whole time I'm not working out. It's exhausting. You have to force-feed. You have to force yourself to eat food.

I Googled 'What do rich people buy?' Because I don't feel like a rich person, and I don't really try to act like a rich person, so I don't know what they buy. I didn't really like the stuff I saw, so I'm gonna stick with my humble lifestyle and just keep working out.

If there's ever any point in my life where I could meet Jennifer Aniston, I think that'd be pretty incredible!

I want a girl who's passionate, driven - a girl who believes in herself.

I'm not ashamed of it, but people would think I'm ashamed of Bieber. I got Bieber on my iPod.

I actually have no style whatsoever. I'm the worst. I have people I talk to, and I say, 'Please tell me how to dress because I don't know what I'm doing.' The biggest thing for me is my mom. I'm like, 'Mom, do I look good?' If she says yes, I'm good to go.

I know that I have probably an eight- to 10-year window in this league, and if I want to be what I say I want to be, then I have to commit myself 100 percent.

I live for Sundays. I live for Mondays. I live for Thursdays.

My parents would definitely be my childhood heroes.

You can't play a guy who's just a snake, because what do you draw on?

Seriously, who doesn't want to slap a 27-year-old movie star?

If you are lucky enough to have a parent or two alive on this planet, call them. Don't text; don't e-mail. Call them on the phone.

There's a kind of numbness, a sameness, a lack of motivation in 'good job' culture.

I don't respond to authority figures who abuse their authority.

A lot of the stuff about white-supremacist groups was very family-friendly: 'We just love our people.' One the surface, you go, 'Gee, what's wrong with loving your people?' But when you love your people to the exclusion of everything else that's remotely different, that's when you get into trouble.

I read 'Whiplash,' and I wanted to do it.

My full name's Jonathan Kimble, but my parents didn't want to call me either. So for a while, I went by Kim, which is a name for a girl or a Korean person.

My understanding, from what I've learned so far about Commissioner Gordon, is that he's the older guy with the mustache who relates with our hero in a certain way.

I don't think I've ever watched a movie to prepare for a role.

My general philosophy of playing bad guys, which I've sort of done, you know, half the time is, you know, very few people who we view as bad guys get out of bed and think, 'What evil, terrible thing am I going to do today?' Most people see their motivations as justified - as, you know, justifying whatever they do.

I don't often do a lot of that kind of research, but when it's something specific like 'Oz' - which I fortunately did not have a lot of experience with - I will. I read 'The Hot House,' about being on the inside at Leavenworth prison.

Teaching is in my blood.

People evolve and it's important to not stop evolving just because you've reached 'adulthood.'

I started out as a singer and a musician, and I was taught that your job is just to get out of the way of Brahms or Arthur Miller or Shakespeare and convey the brilliance that they created.

I'm just glad to be able to work.

I wasn't a comic book aficionado at all when I was a kid, but my cousin Weed was. Every time we went to visit him on the farm, he had two really fun things: comedy albums and comic books.

When we were shooting 'Oz,' my wife was doing 'Beauty and the Beast' on Broadway, singing and dancing. It was an interesting dichotomy in our house.

I actually have a degree in music and was aware that music was a tool used in therapy. I didn't realize how far it had come since I was in college in the mid-seventies.
