Football is great and I love it and I'm so fortunate and blessed to be able to do it. But I wholeheartedly believe I'm not defined by what I do on the football field. I'm defined by the father I am, the husband I am, the family member I am and the impact I have on others.
I think any football is a guy that is able to one, be able to be humble and hungry off the field, but at the same time on the football field understand what they have to get done and be a little bit ferocious.
I am more than a black guy. I am a person, I'm storyteller, I'm a son, I'm a friend, so I am all those things, so it is frustrating, to a degree, to be limited by other people's perceptions of me, but at the same time, it is true that I am a black guy, and, you know, it's like I'm rooted in but not bound by.
If you can know a guy off the field, I think it helps you on the field. If all you're doing is talking football, maybe you can't get on the same page.

I am kind of a lifelong lose weight, gain weight kind of guy. I'm a big guy; I've always been a big guy.
I'm not here to propel myself into the limelight. I'm here to win a football game. If I am propelled into the limelight, I want it to be because of what I do on the football field, not because of some grand marketing strategy.
If I walk into a room, and nobody knows who I am, and they've never seen wrestling a day in their life, I want everybody in that room to look at me and go, 'That guy does something. He is somebody important.'
I always want to feel happy, whether I am with my friends and family or out on the football field for Chelsea.
I don't want to get too much on the football side and gain weight, so I'm as fast on the field.
Sad music, I always thought, is more beautiful than other music. But at the same time, I am in my personal life a very happy guy. I have a sense of humor. I am not the kind of depressed guy all the time brooding. No. I am very enthusiastic about things.
In a field I am the absence of field. This is always the case. Wherever I am I am what is missing.
I am not someone who likes to be in the dressing room and waste time; I like to be on the field all the time and be counted. That is how I am.
I take that stage, and I'm the same guy backstage as I am on the stage. And you know what that guy is. That guy is a star. That guy is a champion. That guy is the guy that put '205 Live' on the map.
