Terrell Suggs

You never want to hit your cruising altitude; you always want to be ascending with your game. You can always get better.

Born and raised in St. Paul. I was a St. Paul Johnson Governor for the first quarter of my freshman year. Then I moved to Phoenix.

Sometimes, you can be your own thing that hurts you. It's you. It's like knowing too much of the game when really all you need to do is play the thing that's really happening in front of you.

I'm a big historian. Big JFK fan. I got to take a picture under the official JFK White House portrait.

My mom and dad did something special when they made me.

I have played with a torn bicep before. I have come back from a torn Achilles before. So I guess it's just in my DNA.

You always want to give yourself an edge, want to help your team win. That's pretty much going to preparation.

When you can get the game to slow down for you, you can play a lot faster.

I'd like to think that my mentors, I've had the highest of education and one thing I've always noted, they were always writing stuff down, taking notes.

Somebody can always use me. They can always use a dominant defensive player.

I know I can play. I know I'm a good player.

Sacks shouldn't be the only thing that determines if you had a good year.

In my eyes, there will never be another Haloti Ngata, but that comes from a biased perspective from me.

Getting sacks are like prom night. It never gets old.

You're going to always have something to prove when you're playing this game.

If you think you're old, you're going to train old and then you're going to perform old.

Ray Lewis, the greatest player ever, has been hurt a couple of times, but he has always come back strong.

You don't want to stay the same. You want to get better every week.

Off the field Haloti is an amazing guy. People don't know that about him.

You learn more in failure than you do in success.

Willie Roaf kicked my butt a couple of times. Larry Allen was a guard, but one time in San Francisco he took me with one hand and threw me out of the play. Walter Jones was pretty tough, too.

I think everybody should have a certain amount of privacy, even though they are in the public eye, no matter who they are.

There's always a temptation to get in front of the camera. It's part of my personality.

The postseason is more important than stats even though I do want them.

If you want to run the read option with your starting quarterback that's had two knee surgeries, that's on you.

We've seen a lot of Ravens that will always be known as Ravens not have the opportunity to finish their career here.

I think naturally I've been kind of a lead-by-doing guy. Just showing up to work every day. You never ask teammates something you wouldn't do yourself.

I love Baltimore.

I know that everybody is not going to be a Terrell Suggs fan, and that's fine. For the people that are, I'm going to be myself and they are going to love me and they are going to enjoy it.

There is one thing I'm going to be, and that's me.

I like to entertain.

I like when the camera is on me.

I think my reputation speaks for itself. But everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and I'm going to continue to play football - play physical football.

I can't practice every practice or play every play like, 'Oh, I'm trying to get in the Hall of Fame.'

I've won every type of way. I've lost every type of way.

Make the most of the time you have.

I think it was everything about him: his work ethic, his desire to be the best football player that he can be. He just woke up and he was just Ray Lewis, so he did pretty much everything great. He was a great teammate.

Big Ben, he's a great quarterback.

I love to go play in Pittsburgh. I try to have as much fun as I can... I love being Public Enemy No. 1. I believe it's the greatest honor one can have.

In this league, you'll have a good week on defense and the next week get lit up.

If I put the right fuel in my body, then my body will pretty much do what I ask it to.

Football has never been very difficult for me. I've always loved to play.

I love playing ball. I love being Sizzle. When the time comes for me to just be a full-time dad, a full-time actor, writer, director, producer, I will do all that.

When you've got a quarterback's rhythm in the game, you can be a pretty deadly pass rusher.

There are only a certain amount of years you can play this game, and it's even a lower amount for a running back.

The league has to be sensitive about what crosses the line and what doesn't. It's tough to determine what is a legal hit and what isn't a legal hit, and if someone was deliberately trying to hurt someone or not. A certain integrity, though, has to be maintained.

There's only one Ed Reed, man. No matter how you coach it, no matter how you line it up, there's only one Ed Reed.

Our biggest thing in the locker room is to just have fun and stay loose.

Like I always said, Carson Palmer got hit in his knee in 2005 but there was no rule made. Then Tom Brady got hit in his knee and all of a sudden there is a rule and possible suspensions, excessive fines - it's just getting ridiculous.

I don't do small planes!
