My parents always told me to be respectful to anyone you meet and to live your life that way.

I just try to be who I am.

Getting an education, building relationships and lasting friendships for the rest of your life... you can't take that away.

I really believe in a community effort.

In Hawaii, after somebody introduces themselves, the next question is, 'What high school did you go to?' From there, it's either 'Oh, OK, it's cool, I know some family,' or it's trash-talking to the max, like 'my school is better than your school.' This is how it kind of is back there.

I understand that football is only a certain time in my life, and my degree will help me sustain my life well past football.

Losing! It bothers me a lot. I'm such a competitor, and I take everything personally.

I stay away from online dating. Interacting with the person right in front of you is a much easier way to talk.

I'm big into water. I tend to get dehydrated pretty quickly, so water is my way to get those essentials that I need to continue a workout or go get the rest of the day.

Any time you're recovering from an injury, your main focus is trying to get back into shape, really just getting healthy again.

I'm definitely a reps guy. I'm definitely a mental guy, so when I'm out there and I get the opportunity to practice, it means the world to me.

My mentality as a competitor will never change.

Growing up, my parents made a lot of sacrifices for my brother and I to go to private school and to attend some of the football camps. They got through some hard times, but it was for me, and that's what I've learned from them. I'm very grateful for that.

I've never had a sip of alcohol.

You have to focus on what your goal is as a team. The most important thing is as a team, your goal is greater than you individually.

It is, to me, a goal of mine to come back to Hawaii and to play in the Pro Bowl.

Not being in the playoffs is frustrating.

I definitely like to throw a deep post or something over the top that gives a receiver time to run under it and score a touchdown.

I'm not a fan of spiders... I tend to avoid them as much as I can.

I'd love to play for the Jets.

I don't have a nickname and I'm not looking for one.

If we win games, those other things - awards and all of that - will take care of themselves.

I'm really interested in sports medicine.

I can't worry about what's going on up front, I've got to continue to keep my eyes down the field.
