“My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man,”

Anything I would do, I would have to be me. That is how it would work.

I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That’s the key I may be up early, but I’m in bed early too.

Everybody on a championship team doesn’t get publicity, but everyone can say he’s a champion.

Any guy who can maintain a positive attitude without much playing time certainly earns my respect.

You also have to research your competition.

I motivate others by making sure that they understand to go after their dreams and dont let anyone tell you you cant. If you are motivated enough and put the work in that you can achieve anything in life that you set your mind to.

You can’t get AIDS from a hug or a handshake or a meal with a friend.

I try to eat a lot of baked foods, fish, chicken, potatoes, stuff like that. Grab me a Muscle Milk. That helps.

It’s not just the end of a chicken leg, it really is – imagine the cartilage of game meat.

My father tried to give me the sex talk once, and he chickened out. He walked into my room and went, ‘Adam – uh, don’t kiss guys.’
