Ill Watch The Highlights Every Now And Then But, As Far As Watching The Game, I Feel Like I Am The Game.

I Feel Like Football Players Are Overworked And Underpaid Compared To Any Other Sports.

You Have A White Guy As An Announcer And Sportscaster. Me, I'm Black. I Do It And I've Already Done Some Stuff In The Past. We're More Expressive Than The White Guys. You Look At The Skill Players. We're The Ones That Get Into The End Zone. We Get In The End Zone More Than They Do.

Like My Boy Tells Me; If It Looks Like A Rat And Smells Like A Rat, By Golly, It Is A Rat.

Terrell Has 25 Million Reasons Why He Should Be Alive.

If You Align Expectations With Reality, You Will Never Be Disappointed.

I Think There Is Something Bigger In Store For Me.

What You See On The Field Is My Job.

It Doesn't Matter What People Say About Me, Whether They're In Philly, Or Whether They're In San Francisco... All Across The World.

All That Matters To Me Now Is My Family.

When I Step On The Field, You Know What You Gonna Get.

I Feel Like I Know It Is From My Heart And God Knows It Is For A Good Cause, It Is Not Necessary To Be Made Public.

I've Only Been On One Vacation Ever. I Just Went To Acapulco Before Training Camp.

You Never Know What A Person Is Going Through, Regardless Of How Much Money They Make Or However Great A Life You Think They're Living.

I Think At Some Point During The Course Of The Game, I Will Have An Impact - Whether It's Blocking Or Whether It's Catching The Football.

But [sunday] As You Saw, It Was Obviously [the Media] Took Some More Than Initiative To Try To Get Me To Kind Of Go Down The Wrong Path. I Know The Last Two Teams That I've Been On, I Felt Like I Left Those Teams Prematurely Due To Media Interviews That I've Done And Things Kind Of Taken Out Of Context And They Created Sort Of A Media Whirlwind In The Locker Room And Things Kind Of Went Downhill From There. I'm Just Trying To Do The Best Job I Can Do As Far As Answering The Questions And Trying To Be A Better Teammate And Not Try To Throw People Under The Bus.

I Have Done A Lot Of Things Off The Field But I Feel Like In My Heart I Dont Really Have To Publicize What I Do For People Because It Is From My Heart.

I Don't See Outside Of Me.

That Goes With The Saying That You Call On God A Lot Of Times And You Pray For Things And It May Not Happen At That Moment.

I'm Not Gonna Waste Your Time, So I Wouldn't Expect You To Waste My Time.

Wasting My Time

People Have Doubted Me And Criticized Me My Whole Life, And That's Why I'm The Way I Am.

When I Was A Kid, I'd Watch Pro Football On Tv And I'd See Someone Make A Play And I'd Say, 'i Wish That Could Be Me.' But Then I'd Have To Wonder, 'could I Make That Big Play?'

You Should Know How To Do Your Job.

A Lot Of People Expect To See The Same Type Of Character That They See On The Field Off The Field, And That Throws Them For A Loop.

I Never Even Watched Football Growing Up. I Just Play The Game.

Jerry (rice) Played Until He Was 42. At 39, I Ran A 4.43 40-yard Dash. You Look At The Number Of Dropped Balls And The Way Guys Are Playing Now And You Can't Honestly Say I Can't Do Better.

I Feel Like It Was A Little Disrespectful But You Know What I Feel Like, I Have Been Successful, Blessed And I Keep My Faith In God, Man, And I Just Keep It Moving.

There Has To Be A Beginning Somewhere And My Thing Is That I Am Going To Give It All I Got.

That Just Shows You Their Type Of Class And Integrity. They Claim To Be First Class And The Best Organization. It's An Embarrassment And It Shows The Lack Of Class That They Really Have.....the Eagles Would Be Undefeated Right Now With Green Bay's Quarterback. We'd Probably Be In A Much Better Position With Him On The Team (instead Of Present Eagles Quarterback Donavon Mcnabb).

When I Go Out There And Play I Just Play.

I'm Human; That's What People Don't Realize.

I've Never Really Thought Of Myself As Having An Ego. I've Always Found Myself As Having A Lot Of Confidence. I Know I Have A Lot Of Great Ability. I Know What I Bring To The Table.

I Left A Lot - A Lot - Of Touchdowns On The Field Throughout The Last Two Or Three Years.

For Whatever Reason, God Has A Plan For Me.

I Have Donated Money To The Kids Overseas, The Open Hand Project And The Homeless.

Once I Step On The Field, By The Things I Do In Practice And The Way I Practice, You Can't Tell That I Don't Love The Game. But I Just Know It Deep Down.

I May Be A Public Figure, But Really, I'm Just Like A Guy Who Could Be In Your Family And Have Some Difficult Things Happen To Him.

I Know My Body Better Than Anything, Better Than Anybody.

I Just Feel Like With God You Can't Be Defeated.

But If You Look At The Big Scheme Of Things, I Have Never Failed, Regardless Of Anything I Have Had To Go Through: From Dallas, To The Sharpie, To Me Getting Involved With A Debate With My Coach, A Lot Of People Look To See My Fail.

I Am Sure I Lost Out On A Few Million Or More In Money But I Am Happy With The Team That I Am On And The Quarterback That I Am With.

I'll Do Whatever It Takes To Win.

Whatever It Takes

This Is Gods World This Is Not The Medias World.

I've Always Been Pretty Much A Quiet Person. When I Was Little, I Got Picked On A Lot. After I Went Through All That, I Pretty Much Kept To Myself.

Everything That I've Gone Through Since The End Of 2010, From Me Finding Out About My Financial Adviser Stealing, Mismanaging My Money - That Affected Everything, From Child Support, Mortgages, To Me Having To Sell My Properties, Me Being In And Out Of Court Trying To Modify My Child Support. It's A Lot To Deal With At One Time.

I Never Had Any Run In With The Law.

It Doesn't Matter What Any Of My Teammates Have Said About Me.

Everybody Is Not Going To Be Squeaky Clean. All The Guys They Are Giving These Marketing Endorsement Deals Are The Ones Going Out There Getting In Trouble. That Is What Is Really Puzzling To Me. They Will Take A Chance On The So Call Good Image Guy And They Are The Ones That Go Out There And Screw It All Up. You Have Not Seen My Face Go Across The Screen For Any Off The Field Problems, Period.

I Knew I Was Going To Have Success Here.

Everybody Is Not Going To Be Squeaky Clean.

Growing Up As A Little Kid, I Wasn't Always This Size. I Got Picked On A Lot.

I Know The Microphones And Cameras Are On Me. They're Looking At My Gestures And Taking It And Running With It Because Of Things That Have Happened In The Past. It's Very Unfair.

A Lot Of Emotional Stress That People Go Through, Some People Figure Out A Way To Handle It. They Have A Strong Enough Support System To Keep Going And Keep Moving Forward. And Some People, They Feel Like They Don't Have That Outlet.

A Lot Of People Think I'm Stuck Up. Pretty Much That I'm Arrogant. I Only Do That When I'm On The Field.

I Feel Like I'm A Basketball Player In A Football Uniform.

I Wrote The Book Not To Prove People Wrong But Just To Get The Insight On Who I Am As A Person.

God May Not Be There When You Want Him But He Is Always On Time.

All I Can Tell Everybody Is, I'm The Same Guy, Just On A Different Team.

I Don't Want That To Be The Headline.

Don't Say I Don't Get Along With My Teammates. I Just Don't Get Along With Some Of The Guys On The Team.

God Blessed Me To Play Football.

Exposure Is Exposure, Whether It's Good Or Bad. But You Know What? You Live And You Learn, And I Know Who To Trust And Who Not To Trust. I'm In Control Of What I'm In Control Of, And That's Me Coming In Here And Being Productive On The Field. And As Long As I'm Keeping My Nose Clean And Doing The Right Thing, Then I'm Ok.

I Think People Change, But The Media, They Never Allowed Me To Change. They Never Allowed Me To Be A Better Person

I'm Smart Enough To Know When I've Done Something Wrong, But I Don't Understand This. Guys Are Beating Their Wives, Getting Duis And Doing Drugs, And I Get National Attention For A Sharpie? People Are Personally Attacking Me, Calling Me A Classless Asshole Because I Did Something Creative During A Game. Why?

It Doesnt Matter What People Say About Me, I Weather The Storm.

Life And Death. At Some Point We're Gonna Leave This World. Do I Know When? Absolutely Not.

The Only People That Really Matter Are The People That Are In My Inner Circle.

I Would Not Have Gone To Philly If I Really Did Not Have My Free Agency Right, If I Did Not Have A Case, Period.

But I Know In My Heart What I'm Doing Is Right.

A Lot Of People Have To Deal With The Feeling That Their Worlds Are Caving In.

As You Get To Know Me, You Kind Of Figure Me Out, That I'm Not As Probably As Bad Of A Guy That I've Been Reported To Be. I'm Not That Jerk.

I Am The Terrell Off The Field Who Is Laid Back And This Is Me.

Right Is Right And Wrong Is Wrong.

Like I Always Said, If I'm One Of The Top Players In The Game, Pay Me Like I'm One Of The Top Players In The Game.

I Don't Need The Recognition And I Did Not Expect It.

I Don't Have To Play For The Eagles.

I Didn't Know Who My Daddy Was Until I Was 10 Or 12. Surprising As It May Seem, He Was Living Right Across The Street.

I Have An Ability That I've Already Honed In On To Get Better.

Yes, I Am A Narcissist. The Best, Too.

People Forget That I'm A Human Being, Just Because I Play A Sport That Everybody Loves. We're Human. We're Not Invincible. We Share The Same Feelings And Emotions That People On The Outside Feel. I Don't Think People Really Understand That.

Get Your Popcorn Ready, 'cause I'm Gonna Put On A Show.

I Feel Now I Can Take My Talent Through The Roof.

This Is A Dirty Business, That Is Why I Go Out And Play With My Heart. I Feel Like Football Players Are Overworked And Underpaid Compared To Any Other Sports. This Is Like A Nine To Five. No Guaranteed Contracts, And That Is The Worst Thing About It.

You Have Not Seen My Face Go Across The Screen For Any Off The Field Problems, Period.
