I'm a role model.

At the end of the day, media is going to say whatever they're going to say.

I'm just very fortunate that I'm alive. I look every day and see my hand and say, 'Thank you, Lord.'

I know when it's time to joke and when it's time to be serious. As far as football goes, I'm serious.

Once you touch that grass, you know in your head only one team is going to walk out of there with a win.

I don't like people knowing about my business, and my situation, so I try to keep out of people's situations unless they come to me and ask for help.

Without God and the strong heart that I have, I wouldn't be able to make it.

I try not to put myself in horrible situations anymore.

I'm missing an index finger.

I think nobody can block me. Nobody can stop me.

Once I get on a roll, it's hard to stop me.

Football is a game of business. You don't work for free.

The Giants have a great organization, great fan base.

I can't play 'Madden' without an index finger!

You can't predict injuries. That's one thing you can't do.

Every year, jobs are on the line.

Whatever I can do to help me be a better player, I'll do it.

I can do better, and if that's consistently training even harder, then I'm going to do that.

Being injured, nobody wants to be injured.

Each year is a year for you to get better, so that's what I'm trying to do.

You've just got to have it, man. Like, in this game of football, you can tell when you look at film who's more passionate about the game.

To play this game, you've got to have heart, and a lot of guys don't have it. I can sit here and say we all do, but we all don't.

We need everybody to contribute as one and do what we've got to do to win. Football is not an individual game. In basketball, LeBron James can take over a game by himself.

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.
