Darrelle Revis

Every player ages in this game. You've got to understand that.

When Terrell Owens was coming at me, saying I'm an average corner, that stirred some stuff in me - you know what I'm saying? - to prove him wrong.

I used to watch college basketball games. I used to look at Mateen Cleaves and all those guys... Mike Bibby, when he was in Arizona, I used to look up to those guys, and try to mimic them.

I try to let my game speak for itself. I don't try to get into a jawing match.

It's too much energy to be trash-talking.

I'm not a parent who forces my child to do anything.

I've been booed, I've been cheered, I've seen it all.

Derek Jeter is by far the best baseball player I've seen - I've seen.

When any New York team plays good, the city is behind 'em 100 percent. They support 'em as best they can.

I'm passionate.

I think you get brainwashed being a New York Jet. You're supposed to hate the Patriots, and vice versa, if you're a Patriot, you're supposed to hate New York.

In the past, I used to take over games, shut the No. 1 guy out.

This game is a love for me. It's like a girlfriend. And we've been dating for a long time - many years. She's been great to me and I appreciate it. I love my girlfriend.

I don't hate nobody.

I've been one of the best cornerbacks to ever play this game.

You've just got to take the punches on the chin and keep moving.

I've been through a lot in my career, and a lot of it happened so fast.

I've been in a lot of secondaries where corners have to make calls as well during the game.

As a child I watched the Steelers play. Went to a few games as a young child.

I'm very familiar with a lot of different skills.

I don't have a problem playing Cover 2.

I'm going to make plays regardless of where I play. It doesn't matter where I play.

I don't really watch football.

As long as the people that I'm close with know me and know what type of person I am and how I want to win a Super Bowl, that's that. I don't need to answer to really nobody else.

I used to play in New York, so I'm used to getting booed.

It's definitely personal to me when it comes to the New York Jets. I'm a Jet for life.

Whether it be there with the New York Jets or if it be with another team, I have to do what I have to do and play ball and do my services for that team.

I just take it one play at a time and try to relax.

Once I get on the field, I just feel comfortable.

Actually, I don't like the word Big Time. I'm a humble guy.

I mean you got 32 teams with 32 coaches. Some are intense, some look at things another way, and there's different philosophies to win the game.

When you play with the New England Patriots, it's a lot of pressure every time you walk in the door, because there's a lot of tension. There's a lot of noise going on in the background, where how the team is ran, it's the unknown.

It's crazy when I look at my daughter. It's like a little Mini-Me running around.

Aliquippa is a small town. Everybody knows everybody.

Some of the past injuries, they linger. They linger.

I think I am maybe an important part of New York sports.

I gave my blood sweat and tears to New York City and New Jersey - a small-town kid coming from Aliquippa, Pa., coming to one of the most exciting, spectacular cities.

We were at a Miami Heat-Lakers game and at halftime we go to this VIP sitting room and Albert Pujols walks in and he's like, 'Revis Island?!' I'm looking like, I can't believe this came out his mouth. He was like, 'Meet my kids, my kids are fans.' He was so cool and humble.

The Jets gave me a chance, moved up to draft me, took a chance on me.

My comfort zone to go out there and just play ball.

Any time you see me get scored on, do I point, even if it's a blown coverage?

I'm burning inside, but I don't show the fire. I don't need to.

Some people may not like me when they have a pen in their hand, so they write what they want. That's fine. I can't control that. The only thing I can control is to continue to do my job.

I think people don't respect me enough, which is fine.

We always say no idea is a dumb idea. It can spark other ideas. Other people can add onto it or elaborate and grow that idea bigger.

To be successful, you have to remember that you have endless possibilities.

Being successful is about believing in what you're doing and having faith - and just being organic and genuine in everything you do. That's how I try to live my life.

If you don't have confidence in this game, that's when you tend to make mistakes, and you tend to not compete to a high level that you want to compete at.

Hatin' people is not good.

Steaz has always been one of my favorite drinks.
