A demon, in a way, is a test of your faith. Because if you're doing God's work, there's no reason for any demon to do anything to you.

I do have a trophy room. It's in my attic in boxes.
Troy Polamalu
America needs football. It's a real blue-collar sport it's played with a blue-collar mentality, a mentality that's the backbone of this country.
Troy Polamalu
I really enjoy surfing a lot. It's an awesome sport. With surfing there are no mind games versus Peyton Manning, or versus anyone else. It's not me trying to throw a certain shot put further - or to put a ball in a hoop, it's just me against mother nature.
Troy Polamalu
I became a millionaire overnight by signing a piece of paper. I made more money in that one second than my entire family did in their lifetime.
Troy Polamalu
I don't look at football as a violent, barbaric sport. It's a very spiritual sport, especially for someone facing the challenges during a game: the fear of failure, the fear of getting too big an ego, of making a mistake and everybody criticizing you.
Troy Polamalu
In football, you're taught to react by being aggressive, taught to react with violence. If you can't separate that on the field and off the field, you're going to be in a lot of trouble in your life.
Troy Polamalu
I've always been fascinated by the military, the discipline they have and the sacrifices they make to defend the country. It's something I've always been interested in.
Troy Polamalu
I don't think I have a split personality. I believe the same person I am on the field is the same person I am at home - passionate about everything I do, whether it's reading a Bible or just hanging out with my wife.
Troy Polamalu
It's important for me to have strong hair in case someone pulls it and tries to rip it all out.
Troy Polamalu
The barefoot component of my training is about strengthening the toes.
Troy Polamalu
Football is pretty much played 16 times a year, where training is kind of a year-round thing.
Troy Polamalu
I know where I'm supposed to be at the time of the snap. Now, where the play dictates I'm going to go is a different story.
Troy Polamalu
Being patient ... and not becoming too stressed out over the big plays, those are the things to remember.
Troy Polamalu
I've never thought about the end of my career. I've had this growing motto in my life to live day to day - and when you live day to day, it's hard to talk years.
Troy Polamalu
There's so much that I like about Pittsburgh, actually. The cultural district and museums are wonderful, and I encourage everyone to check them out. And the food is excellent, too!
Troy Polamalu
Our sport is not made for anybody to be able to play it, especially at the NFL level, so there's obviously some risk that we all take knowingly.
Troy Polamalu
I take pride in my life-my wife, my family. I try my best not to have football define the person that I am.
Troy Polamalu
Orthodox chanting is non-emotional, it's very monotone.
Troy Polamalu
On the field is a place where you can just let it loose and react to everything with violence.
Troy Polamalu
People call me crazy and a madman. Even 'Tasmanian Devil.' I'd rather be called the 'Tasmanian Angel.'
