The Heisman is the biggest award I've ever won.

The reason of football is not to be the best but to be the best team

Maybe a good rule in life is never become too important to do your own laundry.

See God gave us the talent, but the devil make us famous.

I'm not better than anyone else. I'm not supposed to be on a pedestal. I've always stayed away from that.

I'm a Jewish boy from Jersey. I was born with a strong sense of right and wrong, and a strong sense that the world can be a ludicrous, unfair, inhumane place.

My mother was a huge influence on me. She was a living example of what a Christian should be. Her conviction, her discipline. She would rather see other people happy than herself.

One of the flabby lines you hear sometimes is, 'Speak truth to power'. Power knows the truth. It's speaking the truth to yourself that's the challenge.

My desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it. I have searched my heart through and through and feel comfortable with this decision.

I quit because I didnt feel like the Detroit Lions had a chance to win. It just killed my enjoyment of the game.

I don't dream football. I dream the American Dream - two cars in a garage, be a happy father.

It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

I have a lot of friends, but my biggest fear is loneliness. I miss my family in Mumbai, and my biggest nightmare every day is to go back home alone.

Making a history was not what I wanted to do. I wanted to construct something more powerful than that.

I wouldn't say I'm normal. But I'm relatively stable. When I think of normal, I think of mediocrity, and mediocrity scares the f--- out of me.

Here's a helpful life tip. Stand by things that are white cuz it makes you look less white.

I don't care how someone lives or how good their spoken English is. I do all of my interviews on Skype text chat - all that matters is their work.

I never practice before, I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them, and after that, it's about the director taking your hand.

Males and females have never seemed to fully understand each other. It will probably continue this way, but I think that's part of the magic of it all.

Past and future are in the mind only - I am now.

Teaching is, after all, a form of show business.
