I've been through worst, seen worst.
Jason Pierre-Paul
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.
Talk is cheap; play the game.
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.
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.
Not every pass-rush move is going to work to perfection, so therefore, you've got to figure out what's best for you.
Every team that goes into training camp thinks they're a Super Bowl contender.
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.
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.
I know what it takes to get to the Super Bowl, what Giants pride and that defense is really about.
I have a lot of people depending on me - even people I didn't know depended on me.
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.
I'm a great player; I'm one of the best defensive ends in the league, and I honestly think that.
I lead by example. Everybody sees it.
I'm a vet. I know the game and know how to play the game.
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.'
Hard work beats talent, and I live by that.
I just want to whup the man in front of me, play after play.
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.
Basketball was always my game.
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.
Yes, I went the junior-college route, but I was playing at some very good junior colleges.
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.
Coming from a home like I did, I learned a lot about work ethic and determination.
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.
I had a lot of different jobs.
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.
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.'
I want to get to the quarterback and stop the run.
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.
What I bring to the table to help my team is that I'm never going to quit.
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.
USF gave me a chance to show what I can do.
When it comes to the Cowboys, I always play great against them.
