When I won the Super Bowl I thought I was going to be, like, extremely happy. But then I really just felt like, 'Well, this is it?' I felt like I got bamboozled.

I was banned from IHOP. Not all IHOPs, just the one on Highway 6 by my house where I grew up.

There's a lot of guys who use their likeness - to do movies, and do other business stuff, but not too many guys are actually making product. I'm making product, it's a different thing. A lot of guys are holding up Coke cans and get paid a lot of money to do that, but no one's making a Coke can. I'm the guy that's trying to make the Coke can.

I think every athlete is an entrepreneur. Our job is to better our product to present to a new team every year.

I built my company a lot while playing for the Patriots.

My goal is to be surrounded by books.

You grow up, no one really teaches you about taxes, especially as an athlete.

I'm very, very weird.

I hated Jason Witten. I appreciated his game, but I always hated him.

As far as I can remember, I was always with my dad. He exemplified what it means to make sacrifices for your family.

If I wake up at 6 A. M. to work out, I'm done at 10 A. M.. Most guys play video games all day.

I feel like I'm the Kanye of the NFL.

If I write a book, it has to be so awesome. It has to be next level, to prove mysel. Just like if you are an athlete and you want to rap, you better bring the bars. Don't come in with nursery rhymes.

I don't make many mental mistakes. Yeah, I'm smarter than I look.

I'm trying to build a Disney. Not only as a creator, but also be able to create universes where then that content can go into toys, and live on multimedia platforms, whether it's apps, books, movies, cartoons. It's like building a whole world, which takes a lot of money.

Willy Wonka's like my Michael Jordan.

I'm looking like Atlas, not Professor Klump.

It's always cool to make a comeback like 45 Michael Jordan did, or like Marshawn Lynch.

I think coding is gonna become the blue collar work of the future.

Black boys shouldn't have to feel that being good at sports is the only way to be cool - or to be valued by the world.

There was plays where I had to do certain things, but I wouldn't even know who caught the ball because I was so focused on getting my job done.

A lot of players act one way with teammates, one way with reporters, another way for fans, another for their friends. I'm just me all the time. I'm normal. Everyone else in the NFL is weird.

With your imagination, you can go anywhere or do anything, anything is possible.

I'm just comfortable in front of the camera. I'm like the male Oprah.
