For all the evils in the world, I think apathy is one of the most dangerous.

When I grew up, I had everything you could ask for, and I kind of didn't appreciate it. Because it was a given for me. Everybody that grew up in my neighborhood was going to have an opportunity to go to college. I took that for granted. I always regret that.

And I respect the anthem. I would never kneel for it. We all come from different walks of life and think differently about the anthem and the flag and what that means.

I want to squeeze every drop out of my potential as far as affecting the world around me.

I joke that every time I'm in the playoffs, it feels like I'm in the Super Bowl.

My first big paycheck - this is kind of funny - I bought a Cadillac DTS. I thought it looked really comfortable.

I think if you show a player an avenue to make a difference, he's going to bring that same intensity he brings on the field in his community.

I came to Philly not only because of the quality of the team and the organization, but also the fans, the passion - it's really palpable in that city.

I've had to work and scratch and claw for every inch of what I've gotten as a football player.

I'm a bit biased with my love for Kyle Long. I would say he's the best bald guard in football.

Ties in the NFL absolutely suck. Trust me, I was involved with a tie against the San Francisco 49ers when I was with the Rams in 2012 and it felt pointless.

Wherever I go and whoever I go play for, I'm a football player. I enjoy playing football, I enjoy the game, I enjoy being a teammate.

I think the one commonality between the two Super Bowl teams I've been on is great, great teammates. I can honestly say that guys in Philly could definitely thrive in New England and vice versa - if you throw out the scheme differences.

I am incredibly thankful that football has provided me with a platform to give back and I am proud that so many of my colleagues have decided to use this stage to create positive and impactful change in our local communities and around the world.

I've heard a lot of people say you need white athletes to get involved in the anthem protests. I've said before I'll never kneel for an anthem, because the flag means something different for everybody in this country, but I support my peers.

I think a lot of times with football players, we're just head down, grinding away, maybe not enjoying it as much as we should.

When I entered free agency, I said whatever team I end up on, I'm going to work.

Tom Brady blew me away. Who's the most famous athlete of our generation: Tom Brady? LeBron? Messi? Ronaldo? Serena Williams? Maybe I haven't been around enough to know how the biggest stars really act. But Brady is a normal guy.

I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am today without my pops. I think a lot of a football player's makeup is mental, and I've been blessed to have someone to learn from. Not just from a technical standpoint, but everything he taught me about being a hard worker, a teammate and just being a football player.

The 24-hour news cycle is kind of insatiable. Players in the '80s and '90s didn't have to deal with that scrutiny.

I do have great memories from when my pops got inducted. Obviously, knowing him and knowing how hard he worked in pro football for so long and what he sacrificed, the physical side of it, the injuries, and the grinding and now eight years into the NFL you know what hard work that is.

There was a time when I was injured and playing really bad and cut, rightfully so, that I wasn't sure what my future in football was.

It's an accomplishment to play in the NFL.

I'm open for whatever any team asks me to do.

I've been compared to my dad my whole life. That pressure I've learned to deal with.

A mullet is something that takes time and effort.

It's unbelievable how far my career has taken me.

America's an awesome country, man. Everybody knows that.

I'm always trying to play for respect. I don't play the game for much else.

I've been lucky, man. I've been very lucky for 10 years, made a lot of money playing a game, a kids' game.

I think of myself as a complete person, not just a football player and athlete.

For Laura Ingraham to go after LeBron for speaking out politically is ridiculous.

Too often athletes think there's these norms that I have to fit into and there are people that I have to please.

I've always believed there are inequities in our country.

My dad was able to give me everything through football.

I love charity. Ask anyone.

I don't think football is enough for me.

Educational equity was my way of giving my salary. It's not $10 million or anything. I'm not going to act like I'm the first guy to donate $1 million to something, but it has been good.

Michelle Obama has also done a lot of work in the scope of educational equity and being able to work with her on some of her initiatives has been awesome. I'm very honored.

If we're saying there are incidents of oppression in this country, systematically or individually in this country, I don't think saying, 'Well, in country X, Y or Z it's 10 times worse' is making things any better. I think that may be true, but why can't we improve?

This is a wonderful country, and I think everyone agrees on that, but there are things in our country that can improve.

I play in a league that's 70 percent black and my peers, guys I come to work with, guys I respect who are very socially aware and are intellectual guys, if they identify something that they think is worth putting their reputations on the line, creating controversy, I'm going to listen to those guys.

In my career playing football, nobody asked me to do as much as Bill Belichick did.

My mother has been really instrumental in raising a lot of money through the Boys & Girls Club in my hometown.

I love Philadelphia.

In New England, I learned so much about football. I always thought I was a smart player, even though I never thought about anything but the six inches in front of my face. In New England, I was forced to learn so many schematic concepts.

I'm a rhythm player. I need to set people up, I need to be in the flow of the game.

Do I get irritated by the no-Pro Bowl thing, never making a Pro Bowl? Yeah, I do.

Any football player will tell you that in July you get this dark cloud over you if you know camp's coming.

It's a team game, but at the end of the day, you gotta be happy, and you gotta enjoy playing football every day.
