Zitat des Tages von J. J. Watt:
I don't get bothered by fans.
I want to be the defensive player to break the MVP barrier. I want to break barriers. I want to do things when people tell me I can't.
Obviously, you get to do a lot of great things and cool opportunities at the Super Bowl. But at the end of the day, we all want to be here as a player. That's the goal, and that's why I work so dang hard.
If you don't have that vision for the end goal, you have no clue where you're going, and you're going to work very hard to go nowhere.
It's literally, if I'm not working out, I eat the whole time I'm not working out. It's exhausting. You have to force-feed. You have to force yourself to eat food.
When I picture myself after football, it's down home, coaching high school football, just a relaxing, normal life.
You don't know who wants you for you, who wants you for the money, who wants you for the fame. You have no idea. And how would you know? There's no way.
I'm going to continue to work to be the best player in the world, and whenever that doesn't sound fun to me anymore, that's when it's over.
What I remember most about high school are the memories I created with my friends.
I feel like, growing up, I watched football, obviously, and you see great players, and as a fan, you want to watch the best you can possibly watch, and you want to see what's capable of being made.
Basically, I want that relationship where we have that love. I love her so much, and she loves me so much that it's just - you want that relationship where you look into the girl's eyes, and you know that she's everything you've ever wanted. When I find that, I'm going to get it!
The one thing I know is, if I play good ball, things have tended to come along with it. Everything that I've ever done in my career has come off of playing good football. And so I realize I need to go out there, and I need to take care of my business; then everything else - all these cool, great things - come along with it.
My whole life, I've been trying to make people proud.
My dad's a firefighter, so I know what it's like for policemen and firefighters to be on their own on Christmas Day.
Everybody has a job to do, and you just know that every day you have to do what it takes to get there. Of course, everybody has those days where you don't feel like doing it. I'm just like anybody else in that respect. But there's a difference between not feeling like doing it and not doing it period.
I Googled 'What do rich people buy?' Because I don't feel like a rich person, and I don't really try to act like a rich person, so I don't know what they buy. I didn't really like the stuff I saw, so I'm gonna stick with my humble lifestyle and just keep working out.
Houston is kind of a melting pot. There are many different cultures and ethnicities represented out there, even on my team. It's really cool: you'll see so many different things.
No doubt about it. For every player. Thursday nights are very tough for us because it is a short turnaround.
I think there are definitely some people that would say I'm crazy.
Hockey, honestly, was my first love. The excitement, the fast pace, the intensity of the game... I still love it to this day.
I want a girl who's passionate, driven - a girl who believes in herself.
Teams are always hitting me in the gut, trying to grab me when I jump and stuff like that. But I expect it.
Part of me wants nothing to do with any Hollywood. But another part of me wants to go there. I feel like I could be successful at it.
It's hard to understand the life that I live and rationalize some of the things that I do. I don't need someone questioning every move that I make, asking me why I don't just relax. When there's no one asking me those types of questions... to me, it's peaceful.
I respect every guy that has walked away. I think every single guy in this league makes his own decision, and that's perfectly fine. The reason I respect that and the reason I think every guy has his own way of dealing with things is because, in my personal opinion, I know what I'm getting into.
I don't want to play forever. I want to give everything I can now and then walk away knowing I gave everything. The example I think of is Barry Sanders. He was such a great player, and he left when he was still on top. I want that to be me.
A quarterback is always going to be the most valuable player on a football field because he touches the ball every single offensive play.
The way I look at it is that somebody in the world, no matter what your field is - teacher, violinist, football player - has to be the best. Why not me?
I ate a whole 20-inch pizza by myself one time.
You have to find the right situation, and you have to be in that right mindset where you can give everything you have to that. Because whatever I do, I want to be the best at. I want to be the best husband. I want to be the best father.
People like to see a guy being built up; they like to see a guy go from the bottom to the top, but then once you're on the top for a little bit, people wait to see you fail, and they want you to fail, so they find flaws and they find reasons, whether it's being too nice or trying to make you out to be fake - that's what they do.
It sounds weird when you complain about having to eat so much, but it's like a job.
I'll fight a bear, but I don't like spiders. I'm not a fan of those.
In Wisconsin, style-wise, it was all about bundling up, maybe wearing a hat and forgetting about your hair.
A sack is way better than any nightclub. A touchdown is way better than any bar experience I've ever had.
I'm honestly all over the board. I think if I had to pick one, I'd probably say it's country first, but I listen to literally everything: country, pop, rock, rap.
