“Doing 'Top Gear' is absolutely wicked!”

“You're going to hit some rough patches. You're going to run into obstacles. People are going to say, 'You can't do it.' But you have to persevere. You have to keep working hard and believing in yourself.”

“You have to see other cultures to understand the world.”

“A lot of wide receivers, they always run their routes at 100% speed. As a DB, that allows you to get a feel for how you need to play them.”

“Top Gear' is a huge brand. We were always going to come across negative comments.”

“As parents we all have that underlying guilt about how much time we give to our careers.”

“You're out there on an island. It's just you and the best receiver, man-to-man, in one-on-one coverage a lot of the time. And you don't really get any help. If you get beat, everyone can see. If you get scored on, everyone knows. That's the difficulty of playing corner.”

“A lot of sports cars are just not designed for the larger gentleman.”

“I had to really work for everything. I'm definitely an underdog. I think Jesus made me be in that situation to be able to relate to more people. That's why give back to the at-risk kids.”

“Route running is an art, not a science.”

“The one thing I'm a firm believer in is that cars are the best thing to be around on television. They are exciting. They're fun. They elicit emotions. They can take you on adventures. They can make you laugh, make you cry. They're the best medium.”

“As a cornerback, you only get probably about 5 chances to really impact the game.”

“I would love to be in a zone concept every once in a while. Probably later on in my career.”

“Just playing for the Broncos, you're always on the biggest stage. Always prime time television, so that's something I really love about playing for the Broncos.”

“The Road & Track audience is basically me, you know, the car geeks. But, we have to acknowledge that most people find that, socially, very, very boring. We huddle in corners and we talk about differentials and final drive ratios, and most people just don't care. You have to acknowledge the fact that 'Top Gear' can't be about that.”

“People have short memories.”

“Top Gear' reflects the behaviour of the motorist in the U.K.”

“My dad is huge on music, so he always made tapes from his friends. That's how I got into music.”

“I think you can tell just how much fun we're going to have making 'Top Gear' with Paddy and Freddie. They're both brilliant, natural entertainers - and their mischief mixed with the most exciting cars on the planet is sure to take the show to the next level.”

“I just want to be part of something people can watch with their family at 8 P.M. on a Sunday night, and be proud of it.”
