Coming out of high school, Ricky Town was the dude. He was going to SC; I was going to UCLA. He was No. 1 in the country; I was No. 2.

Over the course of my career, I'm trying to win Super Bowls... I am an NFL football player now, and I'm going to try the best that I can to be the best one.

Your primary job is to be a football player, and you've got to accomplish that task before you go out and do anything else, really.

I want to be me, and the Arizona Cardinals know what they are getting. They are not getting a kid that is going to say stupid things and piss people off unnecessarily. They are going to get a kid that everyone knows who they are getting every single day I walk into the building.

I have to tell you, I'm proudest of my life off the court. There will always be great basketball players who bounce that little round ball, but my proudest moments are affecting people's lives, effecting change, being a role model in the community.

I was lucky enough to have a hockey career in the NHL.

I ended up getting kicked out of my house when I was 16, and I went off to college. When they actually saw that I was getting some kind of stability as far as having a career in this business is when they started coming around.

When you get a little knockback in your career, it gives you something to strive for.
