Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of being paid like NBA, NFL and soccer and baseball athletes. They have that cushion where they can kind of hang out. Even the guys on the bench. But for us, we don't fight, we don't get paid and that's the scary reality to it all.

Aljamain Sterling

I don't know how to put this, but to some people, the NFL is basically modern-day slavery. Don't get me wrong - we get paid a lot of money. There's a sense of 'shut up and play,' that this is entertainment for other people. Then, when we go out in public, we're like zoo animals. We're not human beings.

Doug Baldwin

If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.

Dolly Parton

If you're going to play a champion athlete, people expect you to look a certain way, and you also have to have the stamina to be able to continue to perform.

Holt McCallany

I didn't get paid enough money really to live properly, sleeping on people's sofas and stuff, but that was the moment when I thought, 'I just wanna play football professionally; whether I get paid 10 euros or 10,000 euros, I just wanna play.'

Lucy Bronze

To me, film is a religion. I don't expect to get paid to make it, but I do expect total dedication.

Kevin Brownlow

Yes, NFL players deserve to be paid well. Unfortunately, economic realities are forcing everyone to make tough choices and the NFL is no different. These are not easy negotiations, but the outcome can be positive. If both sides give a little, everyone, including fans, will get a lot and the game will improve through innovation. Even in difficult economic times, a new CBA presents us with the opportunity to secure the future of our game.

Roger Goodell

When you're in college you're just like, 'I can't wait to get to the NFL. I'm going to be getting paid.' But once you get here, everything's totally different.

DeSean Jackson

People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.

Curt Schilling

We must get rid of the idea of fulfilling what people expect us to do, and start to do what we expect from our lives.

Paulo Coelho

We're professionals. We're NFL players. We get paid to do a job, to go out there and execute the plan.

DeSean Jackson

People get confused because we all make a lot of money and it seems crazy to the general public, but this is something that we all love to do. We play this game because we love it and if we didn't get paid for it, most of us probably would still be playing.

Trevor Ariza

Whether you're a DJ, whether you a rapper, whether you a producer, take it seriously. This is an occupation - you can get paid - don't expect to blow up overnight, and appreciate when you do get paid any type of money, appreciate it.

E-40

I ain't got no problem in Boston, I especially like the attention. I know that I'm one of the top guys in this game and all the attention is on me, I got a lot of people on my shoulder but I'm human. I like to go. I like to have fun. I like to do this and that but I gotta represent Boston and the Red Sox in every way that I do outside this game. ... Like I said I get paid to play baseball no [matter] where I go to play I still gotta go and perform even if I like it or not.

Manny Ramirez

I really can't complain about actresses who get paid to be dumb. Most of us can't get paid to be smart.

Aaron Allston

The American people expect more from Congress. They expect fiscal responsibility and common sense. They expect us to return to the pay-as-you-go budget rules that we had enacted in the past that helped us establish a surplus, however briefly.
