famous noticed people played until
It wasn't until after I became famous that people noticed I played in the NFL. I kind of snuck in!
everybody expects retreat
I told them, ... everybody expects you to be a little adult. ... When we're on break, go and play.' These are kids. You don't have to retreat to your trailer.
brutal gone guy human nfl rob war
The NFL has gone a long way to Disney-fy its image, but it's not Disney. It's the MMA. It's a violent, brutal human war, with rules. The same guy who says, 'I'm going to rob everybody,' is the same guy who would be successful in the NFL.
fan happen love
One character I always thought I could play is the Thing from 'Fantastic Four.' Another character I've always loved as a fan is Colossus. If there was a way to make that happen that worked, I would love to be Colossus.
ended films
I could've ended up in action films forever. But the comedy thing has been my forte.
everybody funny guy happen laughs naturally needs office touch
Comedy needs to happen naturally and be in touch with the character. When you see that guy in your office that everybody laughs at, he doesn't think he's funny. He's just being him, and that's the joke.
believe guy high knew mom number school
A guy I knew in high school got my number from my mom, called me up and was like, 'I can't believe I'm talking to you.' I was like, 'It's me - it's Terry; I went to high school with you! What do you mean?'
football art skills
Art was always my thing. I had an art scholarship before I had a football scholarship. I'm a left-handed, right-brained, painting-drawing guy. That was always my skill.
team cutting player
When I was in the NFL, whenever I got cut from a team I would do paintings of the players, they would pay me $4,000 to $5,000 to do their painting of their family, and that's how I survived until another team picked me up.
men compassion magic
I want to be a man who mixes strengths and compassion. That's my magic elixir, so to speak.
strong compassion
It's great to be strong but strength is nothing without having compassion.
cheesy easy
It ain't easy being cheesy!
games trying publicity
Hollywood is a bit of a publicity game where it's constantly trying to portray things and put up this image and I was not interested in that.

School is cool. Thats why it rhymes
