It has been an interesting road, but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world, because I feel like all of those instances in my life I felt molded me and strengthened me and made me who I am.

There are still goals to be accomplished. There are still challenges to be met. And so I'm still very focused on that.

You look at public education system, charter schools, infrastructure, in so many ways New Orleans has come back stronger.

And at the time, it is funny how you can look at something and say, for example with my shoulder injury, when it first happened I said this is the worst thing that could happen to me. Why me, why now? Now I look back and say it was probably the best thing that happened to me.

It took me six months to redeem myself at least to have another chance to at least have her get to know me and let her know I was at least a decent guy and to give me a shot. And here we are, we've been married seven years.

We have a beautiful little boy who is 18 months old and another little boy to be born in October. We are very excited about that.

I love the Cowboys in the early 90s. That was their heyday, winning all those Super bowls. Troy Aikman was a person I looked up to.

I grew up in Texas, obviously a huge football state.

I hope our hopes and aspirations are bigger than setting records.

Each and every year I feel like I've gotten a little bit better and that's always been my goal, was just to get a little bit better.

I think the fact is that anybody who goes into politics feels like 'I can make a difference'. But it's not one person, you need so many others.

There's not anything, I don't think, that I can do or accomplish.

I'm a very modest person.

I needed New Orleans so badly back in 2006, just somebody to believe in me, somebody to care about me.

I can change a diaper in 30 seconds flat. I set the new one beneath the old one. That way, it's just wipe and pull the flap over.

That says it all. When you say, 'Victory,' that says it all.

Each day, you get an ounce more confidence. When we're playing like we are, there's no reason not to.

I know Andy Roddick's probably tired about me talking about how many times I beat him when we were kids.

There's always a little bit of personal satisfaction when you prove somebody wrong.

I'm a very modest person. But I'm also extremely confident. And if you put me in the situation or in the moment, I'm gonna have some swagger, I'm gonna have some cockiness.

The Madden Curse has really taken on a life of its own. People just love talking about it, and it is what it is, but I look at it as a challenge.

It's my job to get us in good plays, or more importantly, out of bad plays. That's what I did.

You can always be a little bit better.

We're trying to be that franchise that year-in and year-out is competing for a championship.

Obviously if Gates turns out missing the first game because of this, that's disappointing for everyone in this locker room because he is big part of our team and we don't want to see that happen.
