Did I ever get booed? I don't think I ever got booed.
— Jason Pierre-Paul
Once I get on a roll, it's hard to stop me.
Nobody can defeat you when you all are working together.
I have a lot of people depending on me - even people I didn't know depended on me.
Once you touch that grass, you know in your head only one team is going to walk out of there with a win.
As far as fireworks, it's very dangerous. You shouldn't play with them.
When a role model tells you it's going to be OK, it's going to be OK.
In this game called football, we don't know who's going to the playoffs.
I just want to whup the man in front of me, play after play.
I'm only going to get better and better. Not going to get worse.
I just do my job; I'm out there to make plays and play football.
USF gave me a chance to show what I can do.
My dad never quit no matter what. He couldn't see, but he never let that stop him. Most people, when something like that happens, they just think their life is over. But that's not true. My dad can still do things like a normal person. He still cooks; he still watches my sister and my brother's baby when my mom's not home.
We moved from place to place, and it was hard to adjust to different schools. But we made it.
We had bills to pay. My dad wasn't working, and it was tough for my mom. People were always raising the rent, so I had to work, too. Everybody in the house worked to pay the rent.
Yes, I went the junior-college route, but I was playing at some very good junior colleges.
Denard Robinson was my quarterback in high school. Never had his shoes tied. I don't see how you can play like that.
The Giants have a great organization, great fan base.
I think nobody can block me. Nobody can stop me.
I'm missing an index finger.
Without God and the strong heart that I have, I wouldn't be able to make it.
I know when it's time to joke and when it's time to be serious. As far as football goes, I'm serious.
At the end of the day, media is going to say whatever they're going to say.
I'm in the public eye. I'm a celebrity and a football player.
I just want to go out there and play to my full potential, and play a healthy season, know what I'm saying?
I don't vote.
Not every pass-rush move is going to work to perfection, so therefore, you've got to figure out what's best for you.
When it comes to the Cowboys, I always play great against them.
I'm going to keep rushing the ball until the whistle blows and it's the end of the game. That's how I'm going to keep playing.
I want to get to the quarterback and stop the run.
My mom and dad taught me a lot. They kept me out of trouble and told me to go a better route. They taught me how to be a man, basically.
Coming from a home like I did, I learned a lot about work ethic and determination.
I guess you could say I took the hard route. That doesn't work for everybody, but it's worked out all right for me.
Growing up, as a kid, my father was always there.
Football is a game of business. You don't work for free.
Every team that goes into training camp thinks they're a Super Bowl contender.
I try not to put myself in horrible situations anymore.
I don't like people knowing about my business, and my situation, so I try to keep out of people's situations unless they come to me and ask for help.
I'm just very fortunate that I'm alive. I look every day and see my hand and say, 'Thank you, Lord.'
I'm a role model.
I feel like after my incident, it really made me realize football is not here forever. I'm all the more anxious to come out here and let my teammates know, 'Look, hey, this is the same JPP. Missing fingers aren't going to stop me from playing some ball.'
I am a great pass rusher. I'm not saying, 'Do you think you can be?' I know I am. I am.
I don't have a go-to move, man; I just rush.
I don't like Philly. I don't care at all about Philly.
When I'm on the field, family-wise, family matters, whatever off-the-field issues, I'm not worried about.
What I bring to the table to help my team is that I'm never going to quit.
I had a job to take care of my parents, to take care of some bills at the house, because my daddy wasn't working. I had to figure out how to make that all work at one time. I was working at Boston Market... I told my coach, 'I can't play football because I have to make money to help my mom.'
I had a lot of different jobs.
The bottom line is I'm a football player, and I played three years of college football, and I produced all three years. I also got better every year, and I just felt like it was time to move on.
Basketball was always my game.
