I was so concerned with trying to make the big run that I didn't nitpick to get the three or four yards. That's something I have to work on.

We pushed back a lot of the old things, trying to get rid of the negative stuff and look at this as a new day, a refreshing, reinventing type of thing, ... Doing a musical is something that's been in my heart for years. We finally decided to do it together.

A girlfriend had caught me in a compromising situation with another girl, ... In trying to defuse the situation, I said 'please, stop in the name of love,' as corny as that may sound. Then I said 'Wow, did you hear that cash register? That's how things happen, songs come out of nowhere.

It's a role I've been waiting for four years.

For me to be a starting running back in the NFL and somebody says that I could play 16 games, but I won't get 1,000 yards, for me I look at it as a slap in the face. That's one of those slaps where I say, 'OK, you can slap me once. But at the end of the season, I want to make sure I'm hitting you back with a powerful punch.'

That's one thing I'm not used to coming from New York. I got news for the rest of the league. That team (the Patriots) is not changing. If the league thinks that team is changing because it lost two coordinators, it isn't. They minimize mistakes. That's something we've got to do.
