I'm a Red Sox fan, but I still have a lot of respect for Mariano Rivera, who's the best closer of all-time.

I would compare kicking to being a closer in baseball. This whole game gets played, or the cake is made in front of you, so to speak, and you have to turn around and put the icing on the cake.

The mental aspect of kicking is the difficult part. Physically, we still have to be in shape and perform on the field, but the thing that separates the ones who make it versus the ones who don't is definitely the mental side.

I really don't want to be a journeyman.

Anytime I'm on the field, I need to make every kick that's in front of me.

Obviously we're all our own biggest critics.

Eleven wins is hard to come by.

Making the playoffs is hard to come by, so if you can help contribute to your team's success it's always a successful time.

Yeah, at the end of the year you always sit back and you evaluate, and unless you have a perfect season with no misses there is always room for improvement.

I'd love to be on 'Man vs. Wild.'

I get to put on a helmet, go out in front of 70,000 people and play a kids game. And they pay me to do it.

People think kickers in general kick field goals. But kickers are actually good athletes; we run and work out just like the rest of the football team.

Selective amnesia is a good thing to have. So is good focus.

As a football player, as a kid and as a professional athlete the moment of playing in the Super Bowl and winning a Super Bowl, that's what you play your whole career for.

Super Bowl kicks, those are the most memorable moments.

I think if I take care of my body it should continue to work the same way.

Obviously it's a statistics game.

Proof is the product that you put on the field.

I have to make sure I get eight hours of solid sleep a night.

I know my body needs to have the proper nutrition so that I can keep kicking at a high level. The same goes with sleep.

I don't have any aspirations to play until I'm 50 years old.

I had great grades. Why? Because I studied twice as long and twice as hard as everybody else.

I was at the crossroads of my life when I was 7 years old.

I think every time you step on the field you have a certain amount of pressure on you to succeed.
