I was shy at dancing. I practice at home. I was practicing in the mirror. Dancing everywhere. Then I just started feeling good. I started feeling coordinated. I started feeling the music better.

People misunderstand who I truly am. Truly who I am. If I go somewhere, people just think I'm a party boy 24/7.

You always want to be working, doing reps, but there is also a time you need the mental reps.

You've got to catch the ball.

You want to hit full strides going into the first game and maintain it.

I like all action movies, but the ones with Jason Statham are always my favorite.

I love the action movies. I would love to be part of those.

I just like the beaches in the summer, man.

I've spiked a toilet seat before, a gallon of milk, even eggs. If you say it, I've probably spiked it before.

You've got to be careful with any injury, but I mean, if you research hamstrings, if you know anything about hamstrings, you've definitely got to be careful.

I like anywhere with a beach. A beach and warm weather is all I really need.

You want to be the best at work in order to go out and celebrate.

My pet peeves are people touching me a lot. Random dudes grabbing me and slapping me across the back. They're not doing it on purpose, but it's like they forget I'm a person. But you can't do anything about it. What are you going to do?

After a workout, you definitely have to have a protein shake. I drink my six-pound whey protein all the time, too. I throw some fruit in there - strawberries, blueberries - with some peanut butter and banana, and it gives you all the recovery you need from a hard day of lifting and running.

Just put football first, or your job first. Give everything you've got all week, work hard, work super-hard to take it to the next level every week. And when you feel like you got to the point where you want to be, you definitely need the time to go out, relax, have a good time, take all the stress off it.

I've got to keep on working, keep on grinding, and keep on going out there to get better.

Usually, about 2 hours before a game, I stuff in a nice peanut butter and jelly with chocolate milk.

When you're growing up, you need to stay around people who are headed in the right direction and stay away from people who will take you in the wrong direction.

You've just got to have to put the work in. Put work first. Put the hours in and the time in, and do your job. And when you get a little time off, you can go out and have a little fun. But you have to make sure you get done what you need to get done first off.

Whenever I'm with my boys, we go out together, and not always to a certain party or anything. It's just always a lot of laughs.

Yoga is too slow.

I never thought, growing up, I'd be a TV host.

Wherever we roll, it didn't really matter, chicks would come to me no matter what. Even before anything. But a lot of the time when it doesn't happen, you have more fun anyway, because you can hang out with your boys.

No matter who's at quarterback, you've got to be prepared and be ready to help out the team.

I just go with the flow, day by day, week by week.

I kind of always did get good grades.

When you get off five or six months, and you're not competing as an athlete, you want to get back out on the field.

You want to be in shape going into camp and be ready to go.

When you see the ball in the air, you want to go make a play.

Evil will destroy itself.

Growing up together with my brothers and working out - knowing that they bring intensity to the workout and they really, truly believe in it - it's awesome.

I love the energy and positivity of working out.

A good vacation for me is going to warm weather. Being able to go outside, in the sun, hit the beach, play outside sports. Being active outside. Going swimming, hanging by the pool, having a couple drinks, having a couple of your close buddies around, and just having a blast.

I was always blessed growing up with opportunities and access to facilities, equipment, and playing with my brothers in the backyard to be the best athlete I could be.

I'm not a guy who just sits there on the couch and watches TV all day long. I need to get up; I need to be active. I need to be doing things around the house - working out, playing a sport, whatever.

If everyone's doing their own little thing, then guess what, you ain't gonna come together and form one and be stronger.

As long as I have beaches, some good friends around me, it's 75 degrees and sunny, I'm good.

In high school, I was scared to dance.

When Coach Belichick comes up to you during a game and says something to you, that's great.

I like anywhere with a beach. A beach and warm weather is all I really need. I like going to Florida - to Miami and to visit my mom in Fort Meyers.

You have to learn the playbook inside and out. You have to learn code words for each play. You have to learn defenses.

If we get the W and I have no catches, I'm satisfied, man.

When I first got into the league, I just used to run. Just run the route. Really no technique to it. I really couldn't separate myself from the defender.

He's a hard worker, Nate Ebner.

I never really grew up watching TV.

Playing football and being a tight end scoring points, it's awesome to see so many members throughout the United States join to play fantasy football, to expand the sport, to make the game more interesting while you're watching.

It's always good to get back out on the field.

There are definitely a lot of doubters out there.

Wherever I go - like, I go to elementary schools, I go to middle schools - wherever it is, if it's in Florida, if it's up in New England, I just feel like wherever I am, the kids always go crazy whenever they see me.

Definitely, life changes as it goes on a little bit, for sure.
