In my life, the sky is literally the ceiling.
I don't have chips on my shoulders, I have bricks.
My knee injury was something serious. To go six months before I could even jog is pretty serious.
The best way to motivate me is to tell me I can't do something.
The first four years of my career, I never complained. I never demanded. I never said anything about money.
Every one tells me that I'm a pretty fast eater. I'll sit down to a dinner, and I'll finish in two minutes while everyone else will take 30 minutes.
New Orleans has these older orange lightbulbs, which are really gorgeous. But the main thing that stands out is actually the Superdome.
I played college basketball. When I first decided I was going to play football, there were a lot of people telling me that I wasn't going to make it.
I don't care if you're purple. If you're making a catch or going to go down, you could be silver. I couldn't care less, if you're making those plays for the team. If you're a selfless player, nobody pays attention to that at all. White, black, silver, pink, it doesn't matter to me.
When I was younger, I could carry 270 around and run go routes, and it was no big deal.
I just need to be me.
Always felt like I did things right, always felt like I did things for the community and did everything well in New Orleans.
I'm a fairly emotional guy and a fairly kind of aggressive player who some people - especially defensive guys - don't like on the field.
All I'm about is winning.
I loved 'Top Gun.' I watched it all growing up.
I love my body. I take good care of it.
Later in life, I'd like to end up doing air races.
I got into college, and a gentleman gave me a ride in a plane, and he flipped it upside down so we're inverted flying, like it was nothing, and from that moment forward, I fell in love with it. I said, 'I've got to learn this; I've got to do this.'
Logistically, moving from Miami and New Orleans all the way to Seattle isn't the easiest thing. Really, for my dog, she was kind of the biggest hurdle to get here.
For me, trying the NFL and trying this football thing, because of the home and what I went through in there, to me, it was no big deal. It was just another opportunity for me. I didn't see that bigger, grandiose picture of it, I just took it one day at a time, like how I took it in the group home.
