A lot of people can kick a ball a long way, but sometimes you get in a little funk and you work your way out of it.

Sometimes you have to work through some things, and the mental side of kicking is definitely there.

There's a brotherhood with the specialists. There's not many of them and we don't get any respect, so we have to show a little respect for each other. We have to help each other out if we have the opportunity.

I like my smart-aleck self.

I'm not a quitter.

I've always been a very opinionated guy, an outgoing personality.

To be able to play a couple of decades, I never thought I'd play that long.

If you want to talk about potential risk, more guys get injured on a field goal than extra point.

Will it make the game safer for people by moving the extra point back to a 43-yarder? If anything, players are going to rush harder because they're thinking, 'That far of a field goal-type try, we have to go after blocking it more.'

The only number I care about is the scoreboard.

I'm always my worst critic.

Sometimes we all need a little time to decompress and think about stuff.

None of us should assume stuff.

Ask a receiver, can we take his gloves off because he's catching the ball too well? Nobody is going to be overly happy about that.

Obviously this all-time leading scorer thing I knew was out there and I thought, 'Man, if I stay healthy, I would like to reach that goal.'

I feel that as long as I'm an asset and not a liability I'm still loving the game as much as I ever have.

If anything, make a 50-yard field goal worth four points instead of three.

I don't think any of us are above the ability to change football from what it is.

Indianapolis is home to me and my family.

I love the Irsay family, but I understand this is a business.

I think the thing is that kickers are getting better.

Kansas City might be the loudest stadium that I've played in.

Coming from a small South Dakota school, it was a different route to get to the NFL. I went from South Dakota State to the World League of American Football with the Amsterdam Admirals, and fortunately I did well enough there that the New England Patriots decided to sign me and give me a chance.

The older you get, the more difficult it is to keep your body right.
