I've played with some of the best that have ever played, obviously. I don't know if there is anybody that is a better technician than Peyton Manning. Tom Brady is another quarterback that I was fortunate enough to play with for a bunch of years.

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

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.

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

I think the thing is that kickers are getting better.

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

Indianapolis is home to me and my family.

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

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

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.

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.'

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.

None of us should assume stuff.

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

I'm always my worst critic.

The only number I care about is the scoreboard.

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.'

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

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

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

I'm not a quitter.

I like my smart-aleck self.

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.

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

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.

This is a hard enough sport when you're giving 100 percent. If you're giving anything less than that, it'll swallow you up.

I don't ever take an extended period off between minicamp and the start of training camp.

Will I still get a slice of pizza? Will I drink a beer or two? Absolutely. You still have to live, but I try to do things in moderation.

The way I look at it is, if you're going to play, you better put 100 percent effort into it all the time.

I just try to help my team win the best I can.

I bleed blue, and it's Colts blue now.

One thing I always noticed out of Bill Parcells is that he always wanted a good class of blue-collar, hardworking guys that he felt like he could win games with that way... When the difficult times came about he knew who was going to perform.

The X's and O's with Bill Belichick is pretty amazing.

I mean, if I was going to leave New England, it wasn't going to be just for the sake of leaving.

You try and take every kick exactly the same, no matter if it's the beginning or the last minute.

I think the most important asset to kicking is being mentally headstrong.

Every kicker that's in this league has kicked a million or so balls. You just have that swing; you know what you have to do, and you go out there and do it.

You've got to trust your steps, trust your guys that are on the field with you, and when the ball is on the ground, you've got to do that every single time.

On teams that have won championships and got to the big game, there's a certain vibe and feel in that locker room. Everyone talks about how there's a brotherhood in that locker room, there's not a lot of dissent, there's not guys that go off on their own. It's a team atmosphere.

I don't know if I'm ever going to quit playing football. I'm just kidding.

You see these people that work their whole life and when they stop working, they stop living. Not me.

I'm enjoying watching my kids grow and play sports. That's a ton of fun.

I guess, for me, the ultimate goal is to help me team win games every time I step on the field.

When you have an opportunity to help your team in crunch time - as a kicker - that's a dream come true.

Every time you step on the field you have to reestablish and re-prove yourself.

I don't think past experiences guarantee anything and I don't think you can rest on your morals.

I think anybody that has had a bad game, or, I dunno, I guess if you go out golfing and you hook a couple balls, are you thinking about it until you get it figured out?

I think there's always mental and physical aspects of football.

I've kicked a lot of balls over the years.

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