This is something I haven't told many people, because it's embarrassing. We always used to catch flies with our hands. I was the only one who could catch 'em. One-handed, two-handed. I actually studied flies. I'd watch 'em. How do you catch flies? They fly up. If I can catch that, I can catch anything.

My motto is I'm going to go out and work every day no matter who is here. It's a mentality that I always play with since I've been playing football.

I've been eating honey since I was young. I've been putting it on everything. I put it on fried chicken, put it on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I put it on my cereal. What else do I put honey on? I put honey on my face. Man, honey is the essential item to life.

A lot of the people I know, they don't train like that. They do a lot of quick stuff, just speed drills. But I run long distance. I've always been like that, though, even when I was in high school. That's just how I train myself.

Part of being a player is trying to affect the community you're in and helping people. If there's one kid I can help, I feel like I did my job.

I don't believe stuff should be made for the perfect model. I think that's where we go wrong right now in this day and age: We make stuff that's not realistic. I always told myself, if I ever did a fashion show, I'm not going to have models. I'm going to have regular-sized women.

Sometimes I get a lot of stuff, being in Houston, being in a conservative place, and wearing weird stuff that I wear. People don't get it sometimes. I like it.

Any injury is tough, and it is a little bit tougher when it is the hand that you have to catch with, but it is football man. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Houston has always showed me love. The city has been there to support me.

I play football for a living. That's my job, that's what I love doing.

A guy like Darrelle Revis has been in the NFL a long time. They study tendencies. They know what you're doing from the way you line up. When you run a route, you almost have to be perfect at it. You can't slip. Timing has to be perfect with the quarterback going against a smart guy like him.

You can't sugarcoat why Kaep is not playing in the NFL. This dude played in the Super Bowl.

Anytime we lose a game, you can't point the fingers at the guy that everybody wants to point the finger at because it's not just him. It's 10 other guys on the football field that need to help him out, including myself.

I'm from South Carolina. I'm from a real cultured state, where there's still racism daily. Still, places are segregated.

I just want to be treated for what I'm worth. That's fair to say, right?

My mom used to make sure we stayed dressed nice going to church. And when you're young, and people compliment you, you want to keep that feeling. You want to keep that vibe, that energy. Because it makes you feel good. And then clothes make you feel good too.

I want to design women's clothes just as much as men's clothes.

I always knew I took care of more than myself from a young age. People depended on me.

Every time we step on the field, we want to score. If we don't, then we're disappointed. We don't settle for three.

DeAndre Hopkins

I played defense in high school, so when the ball's in the air I feel like it's mine. No matter who it is or the situation, I feel like I've got to come down with the ball or at least knock it away.

DeAndre Hopkins

When the ball is up in the air for a rebound you always have to be on your toes to go up for the ball. It's the same situation in football as a receiver; I'm always trying to get the ball at the highest point like a rebound.

DeAndre Hopkins

I've played with at least 10 quarterbacks.

DeAndre Hopkins

If anybody should be a judge of quarterbacks, I've played with the most quarterbacks in NFL history throughout my first four years.

DeAndre Hopkins

When you bring in two wide receivers, it makes everybody say, 'OK, all right, there's a little more competition in this room,' which is good.

I've wanted to put myself in that position to be the best wide receiver in the NFL, and I definitely think I'm putting my foot forward to make that claim.

I work hard.
