Growing up, my favorite pass-rusher was Julius Peppers. He was just a beast.

I liked to be around my friends, but my dad was out there, day in and day out.

I'm pretty low-key and try to do fun things.

Almost went vegan, but no, I didn't go vegan.

When we were in Egypt, we were refugees. My family and I were homeless. For five years, out of all of the countries in the world that my father was contacting, the only one that took us in was England.

Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.

We're living in a society where you need to be accountable for your actions, for your behavior - for yourself. To sit back and be reactive would be to allow your children to make big mistakes without the benefit of your wisdom being bestowed on them. It's not what my parents taught me.

I'm a working-class kid from a blue-collar New England family.
