I had a job to take care of my parents, to take care of some bills at the house, because my daddy wasn't working. I had to figure out how to make that all work at one time. I was working at Boston Market... I told my coach, 'I can't play football because I have to make money to help my mom.'

If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. That's why I play. If I made it in New York, you can make it anywhere.

As far as fireworks, it's very dangerous. You shouldn't play with them.

If I ever catch a ball, I'm going to the end zone.

Honestly, it is not all about attitude; it is all about heart. You can have the attitude, you can have the swagger, you can talk your way, but it is all about heart.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Attitude Art Your

Talk is cheap; play the game.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Talk T Play

The less thinking you do, the better you play.

I'm in the public eye. I'm a celebrity and a football player.

When I'm on the field, family-wise, family matters, whatever off-the-field issues, I'm not worried about.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Family Worried Wise

I was a basketball player. And my mother even wanted me to quit because I hurt my leg. But I didn't know anything about football - from Pee-Wee on up, my friends would play, and I would never go with them.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Would Wit Wanted

Not every pass-rush move is going to work to perfection, so therefore, you've got to figure out what's best for you.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Every team that goes into training camp thinks they're a Super Bowl contender.

Very Up Training

I don't have a go-to move, man; I just rush.

Your job is never secure as a football player - or coach.

The only thing that can stop me from being me is me.

Did I ever get booed? I don't think I ever got booed.

Every year you've got somebody coming in and trying to kick you off, so you have to prove yourself. Even for the coaches, too. Their jobs are always on the line.

Jason Pierre-Paul

If I'm tired, I'm coming out. I won't do that to my teammates and stay on the field when I know I'm not going to be able to do it.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Won Tired Tire

I know what it takes to get to the Super Bowl, what Giants pride and that defense is really about.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Up Takes Take

I have a lot of people depending on me - even people I didn't know depended on me.

Jason Pierre-Paul

T People Pen

It's not about an individual. If I have a tip or a reminder for one of my teammates, I'll help him out by doing that.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I'm a great player; I'm one of the best defensive ends in the league, and I honestly think that.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I lead by example. Everybody sees it.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I'm a vet. I know the game and know how to play the game.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I feel like after my incident, it really made me realize football is not here forever. I'm all the more anxious to come out here and let my teammates know, 'Look, hey, this is the same JPP. Missing fingers aren't going to stop me from playing some ball.'

Jason Pierre-Paul

Hard work beats talent, and I live by that.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I just want to whup the man in front of me, play after play.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Anybody can be rattled. Tom Brady is a great quarterback, but at the end of the day, he is just a quarterback. It's not like he is God.

A good season for me is going to the playoffs and making a run for the Super Bowl and having a good record.

Nobody can defeat you when you all are working together.

New York is the biggest city, biggest fan base, and they don't sugarcoat nothing around here.

I'm only going to get better and better. Not going to get worse.

Growing up, as a kid, my father was always there.

Denard Robinson was my quarterback in high school. Never had his shoes tied. I don't see how you can play like that.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Basketball was always my game.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I guess you could say I took the hard route. That doesn't work for everybody, but it's worked out all right for me.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Yes, I went the junior-college route, but I was playing at some very good junior colleges.

Jason Pierre-Paul

The bottom line is I'm a football player, and I played three years of college football, and I produced all three years. I also got better every year, and I just felt like it was time to move on.

Jason Pierre-Paul

Coming from a home like I did, I learned a lot about work ethic and determination.

Jason Pierre-Paul

We had bills to pay. My dad wasn't working, and it was tough for my mom. People were always raising the rent, so I had to work, too. Everybody in the house worked to pay the rent.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I had a lot of different jobs.

Jason Pierre-Paul

My mom and dad taught me a lot. They kept me out of trouble and told me to go a better route. They taught me how to be a man, basically.

Jason Pierre-Paul

We moved from place to place, and it was hard to adjust to different schools. But we made it.

I had a job to take care of my parents, to take care of some bills at the house, because my daddy wasn't working. I had to figure out how to make that all work at one time. I was working at Boston Market... I told my coach, 'I can't play football because I have to make money to help my mom.'

Jason Pierre-Paul

I want to get to the quarterback and stop the run.

Jason Pierre-Paul

My dad never quit no matter what. He couldn't see, but he never let that stop him. Most people, when something like that happens, they just think their life is over. But that's not true. My dad can still do things like a normal person. He still cooks; he still watches my sister and my brother's baby when my mom's not home.

Jason Pierre-Paul

What I bring to the table to help my team is that I'm never going to quit.

Jason Pierre-Paul

I'm going to keep rushing the ball until the whistle blows and it's the end of the game. That's how I'm going to keep playing.

Jason Pierre-Paul

USF gave me a chance to show what I can do.

Jason Pierre-Paul

When it comes to the Cowboys, I always play great against them.
