Tom Brady sure had a lot to say about balls on Thursday when he spoke to reporters and addressed "DeflateGate" for the first time.

"Balls," Tom Brady said a whole bunch of times. "Balls, balls, balls, balls, balls."

Here are the eight best quotes from that press conference (to hear audio, hover over each Vine and click the little speaker icon in the bottom right):

8. "I'm not squeezing the balls. That's not part of my process. I feel it."

7. "To me those balls are perfect."

6. "We're going to be fine. This isn't ISIS, no one's dying, we'll get through this."

5. "I didn’t alter the balls in any way."

4. "When I felt them, they were perfect."

3. "I don't want anyone touching the balls after that. I don't want anyone rubbing them, you know, putting any air in them."

2. "Everybody has a preference. Some guys like them round. Some guys like them thin. Some guys like them tacky. Some guys like them brand new. Some guys like old balls."

1. "They also know how I like the balls and I tell them how great they are."
