The water cooler conversation in every job I've had is sports, it's what did you do this weekend, it's 'How are your parents doing?'

What I love about L.A. and Washington, D.C. is that they're almost the opposite of each other. L.A. is a very creative space while D.C. is a very cerebral space. So, they're the ying and the yang in my world. I like them both for their own reasons.

I'm also politically independent so I'm not a fan of either the Democrats in Congress or the Republicans in Congress.

My folks are in Jersey. And I have a lot of friends and other family there. So, I try to visit as much as possible.

Sometimes if you have a coach or team-mates for too long, you get caught in certain routines. I think it's good to shake up things a little bit.

Over the summer, you do have to take that time to relax and go on holiday with your mates and get away from football.

I have run two small businesses in Kansas, and I have seen how government can crush entrepreneurism. That's why I ran for Congress. It just so happens that there are a lot of people in south central Kansas who agree with me on that.

I am doing my job and trying to win a game for my team. I shouldn't be getting racially abused; it's silly.
