I had games where I had better statistics than others, but it wasn't because I wasn't playing hard.

Each season and each team is different. It takes on a different personality every year.

In this game you only get a few opportunities.

When you get to the big games you never know when you are going to be back so you've got to try as best as you can to take advantage of those opportunities.

I was so sheltered as a kid that when I went to college, it was like taking the chains off. That's where the trouble came from. It was the first time for me being by myself, and I got into everything you could think of.

Talking to your parents is a great idea - if you have that relationship with them.

Finding real friends - that's something that was an obstacle for me. And learning how to deal with my problems and talking about them.

I've always looked around and pretty much knew that I was built a little different.

You have to be a smart player as well as a hard worker.

It feels great to be a Packer.

I can assure everyone that there is no academic fraud as it relates to my college transcript. I took every course with qualified members of the UNC faculty and I earned every grade whether it was good or bad.

I never said I had to be the highest-paid defensive player. That really wasn't the most important thing.

You can be an emotional, high-strung guy, and that might work for you. I think I can be reserved and quiet and play as well as the next guy.

I think I was just born like that, a personality trait. I'm an observer.

Tom Brady is a great player who can beat you.

To be honest with you, it really doesn't get me excited to see anybody get injured.

My approach is going to be all about winning games. All the rest of that stuff will take care of itself.

People that really know me know how I work.

Truth be told, that's really one of the small reasons that I wanted to get out; because everybody knows your business in Charlotte.

There's gonna be times where I don't get sacks, where other guys have two- and three-sack games.

You can try your best and do everything right for the most part and still not get sacks, and sometimes you can get sacks that fall into your lap.

Sometimes you've got to do things you don't want to do. Doing the right thing is not always comfortable; it doesn't always feel good.

I didn't want to do media or appearances. You've got to do this and that, fly here to film something. I didn't want to cut into my time for that. You can't pay for your peace of mind and your sanity.

I get bashful in the spotlight. Even at home or at a birthday party, I hate that stuff.
