“I don't get bothered by fans.”

“It's literally, if I'm not working out, I eat the whole time I'm not working out. It's exhausting. You have to force-feed. You have to force yourself to eat food.”

“If there's ever any point in my life where I could meet Jennifer Aniston, I think that'd be pretty incredible!”

“Since my sophomore year in high school, I knew I didn't want to do anything but be a professional athlete. I knew when I got to college there was no way anybody was going to stop me from being an NFL player.”

“Hockey, honestly, was my first love. The excitement, the fast pace, the intensity of the game... I still love it to this day.”

“It may not matter to anybody now, but when you go out there and perform on the field, that's what matters.”

“I will always do what I can to help others, but when I retire, I want to be a dad and a husband. I want a house and a dog in the yard. I want to have barbecues.”

“I grew up in Wisconsin loving hockey. I mean, I started when I was three years old on skates.”

“In Wisconsin, style-wise, it was all about bundling up, maybe wearing a hat and forgetting about your hair.”

“I think there are definitely some people that would say I'm crazy.”

“I have no idea when it's going to be, when I'll retire.”

“People always ask, 'Man, why don't you come out and enjoy it? Why don't you celebrate? Why don't you have any fun?' My fun is Sundays. Anybody can go to the club. You don't have to be good at going to the club to go to the club. You have to be good to be playing on Sundays, and to me, that's what's cool.”

“Each year, I write out a goal sheet with what I expect. If I showed anybody else my goal sheet, they would have said I was crazy.”

“I just go out there every game and try to be the best I can be for our team.”

“Teams are always hitting me in the gut, trying to grab me when I jump and stuff like that. But I expect it.”

“It's hard to understand the life that I live and rationalize some of the things that I do. I don't need someone questioning every move that I make, asking me why I don't just relax. When there's no one asking me those types of questions... to me, it's peaceful.”

“You can find just about everything on my iPod from Eminem to Zac Brown to Justin Timberlake to One Direction. Everything is on there.”

“My whole life, I've been trying to make people proud.”

“I eat two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners throughout the day. It's always eating.”

“I have three Defensive Players of the Year. Only one other player has done that. But being a defensive lineman, it's hard to control the game.”
