"I'll retire before I let that happen," Adams said. "That happened to me in Oakland. I wasn't happy. That's one of the reasons I didn't go back. I'll retire before I let that happen to me. If they want to sit me down they might as well let me go home. I'm not here to do that. I'm here to play. This is my 10th year now. And I'm going to be better this year than I was last year."
"You got to find something new," Adams said. "The guys that are students first and try to further themselves, those are the guys that stay around a long time. Bruce Smith just doesn't go out there and play. He goes in that weight room. He goes and watches that film. He goes and gets himself ready to play. And those are the things that it takes. And young guys, the thing I think that they don't do the most is study. They need to learn how to study and be students."
"I know how to win a championship," he said. "I know what it takes. I've been there twice, fell short the second time. Does it mean we weren't the best team? That day we weren't. But still, I know what it takes to win. I know what it takes to get there. And I know how to prepare myself. That you can't tell me."
"When I stop listening to what someone has to say - "Well, Sam, this is something new that we've had some success with' - I'm an idiot for not trying it. I may know how to lose weight, or I may know how to gain weight, or I may know how to do the bench press this way, but somebody, somewhere has been coaching that all the time. He's got something to say to me? I'm going to listen and I'm going to try it. Because I want to be the best."
