“Honestly, it is not all about attitude; it is all about heart. You can have the attitude, you can have the swagger, you can talk your way, but it is all about heart.”

“I know what it takes to get to the Super Bowl, what Giants pride and that defense is really about.”

“I guess you could say I took the hard route. That doesn't work for everybody, but it's worked out all right for me.”

“If I'm tired, I'm coming out. I won't do that to my teammates and stay on the field when I know I'm not going to be able to do it.”

“I'd love to be a Giant for the rest of my career.”

“I feel like I'm just going to go full speed and tackle. If that means there is friendly fire on my guy, then that's what I gotta do. I try not to do that because I know I'll lay a big hit on them, but if that's what I gotta do, that's what I'll do just to make sure that tackle gets made.”

“Your job is never secure as a football player - or coach.”

“Nobody can defeat you when you all are working together.”

“I'm going to keep rushing the ball until the whistle blows and it's the end of the game. That's how I'm going to keep playing.”

“I feel like after my incident, it really made me realize football is not here forever. I'm all the more anxious to come out here and let my teammates know, 'Look, hey, this is the same JPP. Missing fingers aren't going to stop me from playing some ball.'”

“The less thinking you do, the better you play.”

“I don't have a go-to move, man; I just rush.”

“Talk is cheap; play the game.”

“As far as fireworks, it's very dangerous. You shouldn't play with them.”

“I'm a role model.”

“I can do better, and if that's consistently training even harder, then I'm going to do that.”

“I lead by example. Everybody sees it.”

“Anybody can be rattled. Tom Brady is a great quarterback, but at the end of the day, he is just a quarterback. It's not like he is God.”

“The only thing that can stop me from being me is me.”

“I'm missing an index finger.”
