Corey Dillon Quotations

No doubt about it, this is what I came here for. I knew we were going to win a lot of football games this year. I thought I would cry (after the final gun), but I don't know how to act. It really hasn't hit me yet. It's been a long time since I felt like this.

No doubt I'm more comfortable. Last year I was kind of learning on the fly; this year I have a better sense of what to do and what not to do.

My frustrated days are over. I'm too old to be frustrated, ... All I can do is work to get better. I think I've been tested for situations like this. I'm not going to say it's not a concern, but it's not the end of the world. I know it's going to get better.

I don't feel too bad. I don't know what that amounts to, but I do feel better than I did last year.

I feel good. I'm healthy. I'm ready to go.

From the outside looking in, this is a great football team. Three out of four? That's something. I don't know what to call it. I'm not going to say the D word (dynasty). I'm going to just call it my first Super Bowl win.

He was very respectful and said all the right things.

Last year is last year, ... I can't bring back last year.

I think it's a great move for me, a great move for the organization, ... I'm just happy to be a New England Patriot.

I take (low rushing numbers) personally. That's a reflection on me.

It could get tiresome, ... It kind of wore on me.

I wasn't a cancer, ... It was just a point of having a deep passion for winning, and people viewed that in a different manner or whatnot. That's in the past.

Winning cures a lot of things, ... That was one of my biggest gripes, just not being able to compete.

I played with a left hamstring injury since playing college football at Washington University. I went to doctors all over the country to find out what was wrong, and none of them could figure out the problem in my hamstring. I went to Drs. Baker and they found a huge knot in my hamstring. They were able to release it and fix my hamstring problem.

Maybe I was little bit more aggressive than the average kid.

When it gets easy, I worry about things.

My whole motto is get four yards, and if I get more than four, that's fine.

I take all the negatives and try to turn it into a positive.

I just want to be in a winning situation. That's the whole thing. It's nothing financial.

I think I'm a man that's basically misunderstood.

I don't take a day off. I don't slack. All I know is hard-nose football. There ain't no breaks or vacations for me.

My thing has always been, sit down with me for an hour and base your judgments off that. That's all I ask. Don't go by what you read in the paper or hear in the streets.

I would prefer to be in a place where I'm appreciated.

You want to be around guys that you share the same goal with and guys who are thirsty and ready to hunt and get victories.

I'm just going about my business. Am I going to bend over backwards to assure everybody that I'm a good guy? No, I'm not going to do it.

Walter Payton is still the best back ever to play the game.

We're going to see what happens. It'll be interesting.

They almost burnt me with a Marlboro or something. They threw hot coffee on my leg. Or maybe it was hot chocolate. It was hot, though. It burnt my leg a little bit. It's not a big issue.

It would be a great loss for the league. I'm going to miss him. I looked up to him, watching him win Super Bowls.

Oh, I don't know. We'll see. I don't want to put any stock in that. I can't put stock in that yet. ... If he doesn't do it the right way, and that's going to be the defining mode of this football team, we won't miss a beat. He says the right things to me, but I see better than I hear.

I know you guys are waiting for this big eruption and it's not going to happen. I'm telling you. That volcano done blew its top a long time ago. It's done. It's done. I'm calm. I'm just ready to work this week.

I've got enough yards to last me a lifetime. Right now, it's just about doing whatever I can to help this team win. I'm just going to finish strong.

I'm where I wanted to be. Not taking anything away from the Cleveland Browns ... but I'm a Bengal, and I like staying in Cincinnati. It turns out that I got my wish.

In situations like that, you're really unsure about how you're going to perform, but once I got out there (I was OK), ... Believe me, I've been doing this since I was 6 years old. It's nothing. This is what I do. This is what I get paid to do.

I just can handle (difficult times). I've been there before. I know what it takes and I'm prepared to get it going. I'm battle-tested in that area so it's not frustrating at all. It is what it is. I just have to work through it. I don't see no difference, but we're playing some tough teams and we have to find a way to get it done, no excuses.

They've put it together, ... They're on a roll. They're tough to stop. We just have to play a perfect game and see what happens.

They were winning Super Bowls without me, ... There's no pressure on me to come in and have the weight of trying to carry the load.

It is what it is. You have to take advantage when opportunity presents itself.

There really is no pressure on me because the team was basically set and they were winning Super Bowls without me,

It is special, and the last two years have been the best of my career and, hopefully, they get better. I am enjoying the ride. I play with a great bunch of guys, a great owner, great coaches and I'm just happy I am here.
