I don't use the word 'pressure.' I use the word 'expectation.' I have very high expectations of myself. It starts with me.

My first option is not to run. I am not a runner. I'm a quarterback.

You get frustrated when you don't win and when you're not successful. You have to keep battling. You don't give up. You don't start second guessing yourself.

I want to be the man. I want to do what it takes to win.

Loyalty is something you should always hold sacred in your heart.

There is no way I'm going to doubt myself at all.

Nobody can put more pressure on me than I do.

I played seven years in Minnesota and I'm looking forward to a better, greater seven years down in Miami. I'm back home. It's great.

I am a living testament you can be adopted and successful.

Anybody can be good when things are going good, but a real player steps up when things are going bad.

Now that I have confirmed that the Vikings have been seeking to trade me, I have asked for permission to speak to the interested teams. The Vikings have denied my request. If a trade does not happen, then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible.
