There's a lot of guys who use their likeness - to do movies, and do other business stuff, but not too many guys are actually making product. I'm making product, it's a different thing. A lot of guys are holding up Coke cans and get paid a lot of money to do that, but no one's making a Coke can. I'm the guy that's trying to make the Coke can.

Dr. Seuss said, 'No one can be you-er than you,' and Oscar Wilde said, 'Be yourself because everyone else is taken.' So I just try to continue to be who I am and don't change that. And I'm a little chameleon, so I can fit in wherever I am.

I like art, photography, film - all that creativity.

Any time you're in a maze there's multiple ways to get to the end.

If I die and you remember me as an athlete, I failed at life.

Nothing good happens after 11. If you can't get a date before 11 o'clock, you need to go home and you need to work on yourself.

If you play sports, use sports. So many of our kids get used by the game and then get nothing out of it. Use it as a tool to open up other doors that you want to open in life.

I don't club, I don't really go out, and there's a lot of stuff I don't really do socially.

Martellus Bennett

If I'm not with my family or playing football then I'm usually in my office writing and drawing.

Martellus Bennett

Why does everyone always assume the quarterback is the leader?

Martellus Bennett

I don't always answer bird calls, but, when I do, they're from Tom Brady and Gronk.

I'm not a guy who holds up a product and says, 'Drink this.'

Dreams come true, but dreams don't wait for you. You have to chase your dreams.

First and foremost, I am a husband and a father, which is a full-time job.

Martellus Bennett

I'm not building gyms. I'm not interested in building football fields or doing football camps. I'm interested in doing film camps and coding camps.

Martellus Bennett

I love to read because I know that for a long time ancestors weren't allowed to. I love to write. Because for a long time my people weren't 'allowed' to. So I'm going to write my books, my apps and tell my stories.

Martellus Bennett

I recognized from a young age that I wasn't a football player; I played football.

Martellus Bennett

My mind is like a theme park, because it's fun and there's lots of cool stuff and you can take rides.

Martellus Bennett

I don't want to inspire the next generation of tight ends or linebackers to play the game. If I could inspire the next generation of architects and technology leaders and writers and illustrators and film directors, then I feel like I have fulfilled my life purpose.
