Marshawn Lynch

Growing up in Oakland, we did things like white t-shirt, blue jeans and Nikes. That was my get down, how I was going to rock. And if you look at me right now, I'm pretty much black tee, blue jeans and some sneakers.

If you are in your everyday life, and you feel like you just accomplished something big that you had going on, then that's Beast Mode. It's an accomplishment, that you put yourself through something to get something better out of it. I feel that that's Beast Mode.

I ain't never seen no talking winning nothing. Been like that since I was little. I was raised like that.

As a running back, it takes five offensive linemen, a tight end, a fullback and possibly two wide receivers, in order to make my job successful.

When I go speak to these kids through my foundation and am able to sit down and tell them some of the things that I've been through, they can look up and relate to me, and they can understand the feelings I had that are similar to what they're going through and feeling.

I just like beautiful women. They don't have to be a celebrity, though... I mean, if they're beautiful, they're beautiful.

I don't know what story y'all trying to get out of me. I don't know what image y'all trying to portray of me. But it don't matter what y'all think, what y'all say about me because when I go home at night, the same people that I look in the face - my family that I love, that's all that really matter to me.

I'm cool with my body, I love my body. I wouldn't trade it for no other body.

I don't play ball because I want attention. I do it because it gives me the opportunity to bust somebody's head. And I just love to do it. I love what I do.

My favorite college experience was probably leaving college.

I like to go home and get involved in my community.

Being from Oakland, you see a lot of thing. You see friends turn on friends all the time. You see family turn on family.
