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.

Tom Brady

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I don't really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully. I really don't. I really don't. Look, if you're a fan of our team, you root for us, you believe in our team, and you believe in what we're trying to accomplish. If you're not a fan of us, you have a different opinion.

Tom Brady

For people who may think they know, or have snippets of who I am, you can attack that person. That's part of being a public figure.

Sleep is all about recovering. So if you're not sleeping, you're not recovering. And if you're going to break your body down a lot, you better find ways to build it back up.

Probably my first couple years in the league, I started paying more attention to what I was wearing.
