Tom Brady

"During the season, most of my time to unwind is in my car ride home. When I get home, it's being with my kids."

"I don't think any country is perfect. It's our responsibility to do the best we can do to change the things we don't like. I think that's part of social responsibility, and everybody is going to do that in their own way."

"After the first day of practice, there's not one guy who's playing at 100 percent or who feels great. Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day - it just hurts."

"All I do is work out. Oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating."

"Football is unconditional love."

"I always try to do as much as I can do. I'm never a person that does not enough, because I'd regret not doing enough and think I probably could have done more. I probably go too far and have to reel myself back in, which works in some things, and other things it doesn't work."

"I am excited to partner with Under Armour to bring game-changing sleepwear, with the same bioceramics technology I use, to athletes all around the world."

"I don't even know what the issues are. I haven't paid attention to politics in a long time. It's actually not something that I really even enjoy. It's way off my radar."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"I think, in politics, half the people are gonna like you, and half the people are not gonna like you, no matter what you do or what you say... It's like there are no right answers. If there were, everyone would choose the right answers. They're all opinions."

"I try to not eat as much sugar, but it's so hard in our American diet to do that... It's hard to completely avoid."

"I would love to encourage all my teammates to eat the best way they possibly can. High school athletes. Now, that's not the way our food system in America is set up. It's very different. They have a food pyramid, and I disagree with that. I disagree with a lot of things that people tell you to do."

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

"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."

"It's amazing, the culture Coach Belichick has been able to create in our system."

"My mom was a great tennis player, and I remember being six or seven years old watching Steffi Graf and Monica Seles in Wimbledon in my house. I've always been a tennis fan."

"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?"

"Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day - it all just hurts."

"We all have experiences in our lives that change us, and we all learn from people, like my dad, but at the end of the day, it's only us. And we're only responsible to make ourselves happy."

"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."

"When you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails is a task, let alone surfing the web."

"Who's my hero? That's a great question... Well, I think my dad is my hero, because he's someone I look up to every day."

"You need to think outside the box. You need to think differently if you want to sustain what, for me, is my peak performance: the very best that I can achieve as an athlete every day."
