Randy Moss quotes:

I am a little older and understand the nature of the business - the older you get the more your skills supposedly diminish, but I think I am getting wiser in how to use my physical skills. That's the frustrating part when you put so much heart and desire into things and feel like you are not wanted.

Excluding nobody, I'm the best player in the National Football League.

The New England Patriots have always been a special organization and I've always watched from afar.

Well, I've learned a lot from Bill Belichick. I've said time and time again, before I got to New England, I thought I knew a lot about football. But I think he taught me a lot from A to Z. I still carry it to this day.

I'm still overwhelmed and, at the same time, kind of star struck that I am part of this New England Patriots organization.

If you're asking me where my heart and where I'm happy is, I love playing with Tom Brady. I love being coached by Bill Belichick.

When I got drafted by Minnesota, and I think I said this a couple weeks ago, I think I felt obligated to bring a Super Bowl to Minnesota.

I don't know how many more times I'll be in New England again. But I leave coach Belichick and those guys with a salute: 'I love you guys. I miss you. I'm out.'

I'm from West Virginia. If you didn't know what was happening in NASCAR, you were on the outside. NASCAR is a big league sport, but it's still also country and redneck.

I can't really have any friends. It's sad, really. It's lonely. But that's how I am.

I had to get some things right in my personal life. And once I got my family on the same page, to understand who I am and what I do for a living, I asked my oldest daughter, 'What do you think about Daddy coming back?' And she said, 'I didn't think you were done. I want you to win the Super Bowl.'

You can't stop me in bump. And you definitely can't stop me playing off. You just try to contain me and stop me from getting a lot of catches.

I love the game so much. I've been penalized. I've been fined. I have some regrets in my career. But for those four hours on Sunday, you can be free and just let it all go. Retiring had nothing to do with football; it had to do with my family.

People always say that Randy Moss can't stick to the rules. Even my own rules.

He hasn't shown me anything but how he carries himself as a professional man, husband, father and athlete. Tom Brady is a pro's pro. I love the man and everything he's accomplished.

I don't want records. I want a Super Bowl ring.

I Play When I Want to Play.

I smoke a blunt once every blue moon. But hey, the moon looks kinda blue tonight...

I'm a country boy who hasn't really been exposed to city living, and it throws me.

And it hurts as a player, that you put a lot of hard work in during the week, and at the end of the week, Sunday, when you get on the field, that's when they acknowledge about the hard work that you put in throughout the week. That's actually a disappointment.

I always forgive, but I never forget.

I think I played in Lambeau maybe 14, 15 times. I've played there a lot of times. It's in the teens, double digit. I've had success on that field, won and lost.

I have used, you know, marijuana ... since I've been in the league....But as far as abusing it and, you know, letting it take control over me, I don't do that, no....hopefully ... I won't get into any trouble by the NFL by saying that, you know. I have had fun throughout my years and, you know, predominantly in the offseason.

When you're rich you don't write checks.

Ain't nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand to me?

Everybody knows I got a temper. It's not a temper temper-not an off-the-field temper. It's a competitive temper, wanting to do good. But as far as being a guy who disrupts a lot of things, who doesn't want to listen? Nah, man. That's false. That's false because I'm excelling.

I don't care about my image. I'm already paid. I've already got my money, so why worry about my image?

I have used, you know, marijuana ... since Ive been in the league,

I like to keep my surroundings low-key. I don't need much around me. I'm easy don't need a lot of racket.

I try to have fun with the fans, try to have fun.

I want to keep winning-the hell with the record

If it's early in the game and the team's not doing well, I get frustrated when I don't get the ball, because I think I can spark the team and get the crowd into it.

I'm a guy here to play football. I'm not here for photos or newspapers or TV shows or trophies or awards. I'm not into all that.

I'm just enjoying the ride. I'm just contributing what I can.

I'm one of the most competitive guys in the NFL. Believe me, nobody wants it more than me.

I'm starting to realize I can't practice a certain way during the week and expect to play another way on Sunday.

In a way, I am what they say I am. I am a hard-ass. I'm hard to get along with. Most of the time I'm moody. All that's true. I got no problem with people saying that.

It's not my fault that people don't know me. I'm going to speak my mind, no matter what the consequences are.

I've always just loved to play football, even if it was street football, like razzle-dazzle.

My concentration and focus level tends to go down sometimes when I'm in a bad mood.

Nobody controls me but my mama and God.

The Moss of old is back!

The one thing I did learn at Florida State, I learned to talk trash, believe that

To all my critics, you get paid to be negative.

What I have done in my nine year career was just a glimpse of what I can do.

When you're rich, you don't write checks. Straight cash, homey.
