The young is always there to replace what we call the old. That's the process, even in nature.

When you grow up hard, when you grow up surviving, unfortunately, it helps.

I learned a lot from being in hell. I learned discipline. I learned that I choose what to put in my body.

Ninety percent of the media picked Pavlik, and I always appreciate naysayers. That's what motivates me.

I'm tired of proving myself.

You cannot go into combat without putting the work in.

We want to give you the roses when you're dead. That's how human beings think. I try not to think like a human.

I'm not downplaying my age - because humankind is such that people run away from their age. Especially women. Guys pretend not to care, but they do. Age is not a good thing to most human beings. But, being an alien, I embrace it.

I have already bent time to my will.

Good players on good teams don't get too high, don't get too low. They're even-keeled, and they go about their business the right way.

It sounds kind of cliche when teams say, 'Us against the world,' but that's the mentality you have to have. There are so many opinions out there that come from media, that come from your family or come from people on TV.

I pride myself on leaving no stone unturned as far as being the most prepared that I can be.

God blessed me with great talent and good genetics. Plus, he blessed me with a good work ethic and a drive to want to be the best.

Jesus meets the physical needs of kids but also tells them how to save their soul.

You can be a great father if you are willing to let God use you as an instrument.

I have to learn the plays before I can worry about getting passes thrown to me.

Fortunately for me, I had a father who didn't let us get away with anything. You were taught respect, and you were taught to be humble. That has a lot to do with how I am now, because I'm still scared of my dad.

Preacher's kids usually go one way or the other - way wild, or they follow in their dad's footsteps.

If you're going to play football, why not be the best at it that you can be and fulfill your potential?

I figure if you're going to go to class, you might as well make an A.

I didn't know if I was going to be drafted, period. I remember sitting there and just praying that whatever God has for me to happen, and I didn't get any calls from anybody else the whole round. And then I got a call from New England five hours after the draft started.

It feels great, definitely feels great to have your number called and be a part of the offense.

When you go to work, you are a Christian at your workplace. You're not a broadcaster who happens to be Christian. You're a Christian.

I would say that we all - in whatever world we're in, whatever your occupation is, we all have a path to walk. We all have struggles.
