Tom Brady

I like playing. I wouldn't be a good coach. I don't have the patience to be a coach.

It's a real strength for me that I've never minded the training process. It's something I enjoy. I really like being in the gym or, certainly, on the field.

I started wearing Ugg when I was, like, 13 or 14, in high school, and my mom got me a pair for Christmas one year.

In Boston, they love their sports celebrities. And it's great.

People want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want?

When the NBA adopted their uniform that they had to wear, I thought that was very interesting. And you see the way NBA players dress: It's very cool.

I just love working hard. I love being part of a team I love working toward a common goal.

Football is unconditional love.

You're not going to see my sense of humor on the football field. That's not a place for me to joke around.

I think I have a certain respect for people, you know. And I guess a lot of times I expect that respect to go both ways.

A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don't ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren't blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart.
