Peyton Hillis

I loved Arkansas and I loved the program and I loved the people there. I love my state. I always wanted to stay loyal to my state.

People just have no idea how strange and surreal a football life can be.

I've kind of found out that things in life come full circle anyway.

I pretty much keep my mouth quiet and go about my business.

I'm doing yoga, MMA and things like that. I'm an unorthodox player, so I have to do things that fit my kind of game.

I'll carry a ball around with me all day and ask people to try to knock it out of my hand when I least expect it. I'll give them some money and stuff, so people get pretty geeked up about that. It just helps me to take care of the ball without even thinking about it.

No one in a normal walk of life flies into a new city unknown and unemployed and ends up doing their job on national television a few days later. I love the game, but it's crazy sometimes.

I went through a couple of years there just mad at the world. I put my faith in the world and the world let me down. And I should have known that. The world's always going to let you down. Put your faith in God.

My high school didn't really have a good training program, so I did it on my own.

I'm a human being just like everybody else.

Some people spend too much time with their job, not enough with their family. You've got to balance things out.

I never one time mentioned anything to any coach about retirement or joining the CIA or anything like that.
