Any time you get into that chip on the shoulder, trying to prove that I can do this and I can do that, it takes away from what you're capable of doing and who you are as a player, as well as a person.

First of all I'm not a fan of Twitter. Nothing against their program or what they have, but as an athlete I think you need to get off of Twitter.

No matter what your accomplishments are, the records you've broken, etc., when a team is ready to move in a direction - they're ready.

Everything I say, I expect backlash from it.

What I've come up with is that I just need to be me.

I need to go out and play football and have fun. If I do that, then everything will be fine.

That's the competitive nature in me. Just wanting to be the best and wanting to do everything I have to in order for this team to make it that far. You put pressure on your shoulders.

Many quarterbacks have won throughout their career and had a lot of success... and have a lot of wins, but were not able to win that Super Bowl... But that is the ultimate goal.

I've always been a big believer that winning a Super Bowl is an outstanding achievement, but that doesn't really reflect on what type of career that a person has had.

No way will I put my family and my life on the TV or be involved with something like a dating show or any type of reality show.

I don't look back and regret anything.

I hated being compared to anybody.

That's the thing: To be successful in the NFL, you have to start by having a quality coach and a quarterback that can kind of lead the team. If you have the trust of the quarterback, then you can build everywhere else.

Brian Dawkins, to me, in an era I played in, there were three, really four safeties where their numbers and their impact on the game stands alone.

I think sometimes people look to players to act out, speak loudly, pretty much be an idiot. But that's not me.

I try to handle myself with dignity.

I try to handle myself with class.

There's not that many African-American quarterbacks, so we have to do a little bit extra. Because the percentage of us playing this position, which people didn't want us to play... is low, so we do a little extra.

As an athlete or an entertainer, you don't want to be in a boring spot. You want to be in a spot where you're doing your thing to the best of your ability, and you know that you'll get a reaction.

When I get out on the field, you see me laughing so much because it's a dream come true. A lot of people wish they could do what I do, or wish they had an opportunity to do what I do. But not everybody's granted opportunity. I was, so I'm taking full advantage of it.

Everybody's got a serious side and everybody's got a fun side.

Chase Daniel is not a bad player.

For me to bully anybody, that sounds unbelievable.

I'm not hesitating on that. I am a Hall of Famer.
