We all understand that freedom isn't free. What Romney and Ryan don't understand is that neither is opportunity. We have to invest in it.

I wanted more people from my city to be able to have the kind of opportunity that I had.

I want to be able to pick up a list of names of graduates from high schools and colleges in the city and to see that that list is longer than it was when I started in 2009.

Republicans are so far out to the right, it's pushing people into the Democratic Party.

The destiny of the Latino community is interwoven with the destiny of the United States.

The overwhelming success of San Antonio B-Cycle has proven that San Antonio is a model city for bike-sharing, and as we work toward creating a fitter city, the bike-share program encourages a more active and healthy lifestyle.

People are getting more active and living healthier in San Antonio, whether it's walking, cycling, or using our parks. We now have concrete evidence that our investments are paying off and positively impacting the health of our families and the overall quality of life in San Antonio.

Got a call on April 16, 2014 from President Barack Obama - I remember the date because it's not every day that the president calls you and asks you if you want a job.

I have a track record of getting things done as secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

If the choice is between universal health care or fixing our broken immigration system or upholding a 60-vote filibuster rule that is nowhere in the Constitution, I'm going to choose actually making progress for the American people.

I do believe that being in public office is all about making choices. And if I'm president, I would steer this nation in a direction where we embrace progressive values.

I grew up Catholic. The Catholic faith has played an integral role in my life. At the same time, I don't think that there is a single person that doesn't have some disagreements with their faith.

I focus on telling the truth and painting a vision of what the country can become in the future if we make the right investments together in things like health care, and education, and jobs and opportunity.

I don't believe we need to choose between addressing economic issues and addressing issues of social or racial justice.

In my plan, I call for breaking up ICE and returning its enforcement functions to the Department of Justice.

Throughout our history the United States has benefited form having stronger relationships, including investments in Europe, that have kept us and the world safer and benefited us economically.

I believe people want a President for all Americans. And so I'm out there talking about what we can do for every single American.

The No. 1 thing I want a voter to think about when they see my name, or hear my name, is what I stand for, and what I want to do for them and their family while elected.

You know, I'm not unwilling to listen to people just because where they're coming from. I'll listen to them, but I'm not going to be beholden to them.

Oh, when I was mayor of San Antonio, I pushed for expanding high-quality, full-day pre-K. We didn't have the resources to make it universal, but you could clearly see that that was what I wanted to do.

Everyone goes down a road that they're not supposed to go down. You can do two things from it. You can keep going down that road and go to a dark place. Or you can turn and go up the hill and go to the top - try to go to the top.

You can never go wrong with a pair of jeans, a cool tailored shirt, and a nice jacket. You can dress it up with a more stylish jacket or a bracelet, watch, or necklace. It's simple, but it's cool. That's my opinion.

Tough times don't last. Tough people do. I preach that, and I guess you have to live to it.

I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day.

Injuries are psychologically so hard for an athlete because you don't get to do what you love to do.

It's been a privilege to get to watch one of sports greatest athletes prepare and get to play with him; honestly... it's a dream. I remember being in eighth grade saying, 'I'm Tom Brady,' on the asphalt at recess, you know, playing football.

You can't worry about what other people say, honestly.

There's a whole lot of things that I've got to do to get myself better.

Ball security is job security here.

I think it's an honor to play for coach Belichick. You never go into a week thinking you are not prepared.

I put at the top of my paper every day, 'Never comfortable.' It's just how I feel always.

No one likes going out and sprinting 20 sprints, but you do it because it's going to help you.

The funnest thing to do is win.

You don't grow up saying you wanna play in the CFL.

It's always exciting to get back out there with the teammates and start a new year and get on the field.

I've always felt like if I had a bad practice, I could potentially get cut the next day.

The more everyone tries to do their own job, that's when the team fires on all cylinders.

I try to live by the 80/20 rule - 80% clean, 20% cheat. During the week and while I train, I eat as clean as possible. But I always like myself a good cheat day, which includes a juicy burger.

Any time you have one-on-one time with any quarterback, it's very valuable.

I don't even enjoy football, at least professional football, anymore because I'm breaking the game down constantly. You're sitting there watching the plays, and you're talking mental reps on what would I have done here against this coverage or this leverage, this, that. It is what it is.

There's nothing like a nice May day in Foxborough.

I started to get addicted to the Jerry Rice mentality. I can get up before anyone else does. I can outwork anyone.

Special teams is one-third of the game.

It's hard to shop for a guy who has everything.

I wear a lot of sweatshirts and joggers in the winter and gym shorts and tees in the summer. I really appreciate something that is easy to slip on and chill out in.

There's a lot of crazy stuff in this league, and you got to go out and you got to earn your role out every year.

Shake Shack is good, but it's no In-N-Out.

To be really honest, I do not mind whether it is offense or defense. I just like being in on plays and doing what needs to be done to help us win.

I definitely follow fashion and trends and will sporadically add them to my wardrobe in an organic way. But my style, at its core, is a minimal, clean, and timeless look.

I would say the greatest challenge, for me, had been my rookie year and learning my spot. It is an emotional battle, as you have good days and bad days. Being young and thrown into this big business is challenging.
