People tend to lie to themselves about their finances - they'll ignore their credit card bills or ignore certain expenses and won't even make a budget because they're afraid of how much they're spending. Take a step back, take a breather, be honest with yourself and go from there.

I love Tampa.

I have so much love for Las Vegas.

I've gotten much better at Excel.

Coming out as gay is something that for awhile I wanted to do and just wanted to wait for the right moment.

I was really jealous of people who went through life as being somebody else's number one priority.

As you get older, everybody's priorities shift... Late at night, you're just like, 'OK, am I anyone's number one priority?' And that's just the one thing that I wanted.

The NFL career is a fickle one. Who knows when it's going to end.

I'm investing in electric utility stocks because I think electric cars are going to be really big. And I have a little bit of money invested in copper because electric cars use a lot more copper than regular cars.

It would be really hard to spend 50% of my income in one year.

My siblings and I, we grew up just with a deck of cards and could have the best night ever.

I try to live a normal life and not live outside my means.

I've never felt the need to have money to be happy.

I think everybody can continue to help and be that positive person in anyone's life that make the day a little bit better.

I didn't want to pay someone to manage my own money, so it took a while, but I educated myself.

With long-term investing, index funds are a great tool.

Being young we have a much larger time span to invest.

I don't want to ever feel like, 'Oh, I'm hiding from something.'

I was born this way. I haven't worked for it. That's why it's easy for me. It's not even on my mind. I don't choose every day to be gay. I choose to work hard and be a better person than I was yesterday.

It was definitely stressful, growing up and being in the closet and doing all that. Very stressful for anybody. I can speak from experience.

I was glad to do my part to help bring visibility and representation to my community.

First couple of days, being 'out,' the only 'out' player, my body felt like Jell-O. I was very anxious.

My whole thing is, I'm a football player who is gay.

I felt really lucky that I could be on a big stage and, like, make a good play while representing the community. To be the first out player in a game and then to win.

I'm loving the work with Rayze, and it's not something I want to build and forget.

Man, getting asked your favorite Taylor Swift album is like getting asked who's your favorite sibling.

Bro aliens are real. I don't know that they're real, but I think that they're real.

I have such a high respect for Bill O'Brien.

It's hard to see where all this hard work is going when you don't see results for 4-5 years.

It would be awesome to be the role model for hard work, especially for walk-ons.

I'm just trying to do the best I can.

I'm thankful every day I'm here and on the Penn State defense. That's a huge honor. To contribute to that, and be a leader, is pretty awesome.

I would be in a platonic relationship with Taylor Swift in five seconds! I'm in love with Taylor Swift.

I have the same five eggs and quinoa every single morning with spinach and some sharp cheddar cheese.

The NFL is the best athletes in the world with the best work ethic.

I'm not a naturally built guy. I have to constantly work out.

I feel like, with Taylor's albums, they have to marinate for a month for you to really get all the lyrics and the ideas, stuff like that.

Football players... we're the most ambitious people you'll ever meet. We do not aim low.

I feel bad for the people that have to drive with me when I'm giving my 'All Too Well' 10-minute performance.

I think that there are Swifties everywhere.

I'm from Pennsylvania. I grew up watching Penn State.

I never cared what other people thought about my size and my abilities. I was always confident in myself.

I love playing defensive end. It's the position I played in high school.

I've always had dreams of going to the NFL.

It was a great experience at Penn State. I could not have asked for anything more from Penn State.

When I earned my scholarship, it really motivated me to let everybody that I was the real deal.

Earning a scholarship was incredible.

Financial stress is real and can be an X-factor on gameday, just like anything else.

I've had coaches pay for specialists to come in and teach different breathing and sleeping techniques. Anything to gain an edge.

I'm kind of a nerd, if you ask any of my friends. I guess quirky is nerdy.
