Consistency is one of the hallmarks of my career. You knew what you were going to get out of E-Smith every game, every year, no matter if I was 22, 21 or 35 years old.

My mom said, 'Don't get married. You're too young. Go out there and experience what life has to offer.' And I did.

Consistency shows value. It breeds trust. You know that I'm going to show up every week.

History has never seen Emmitt Smith. I don't care what has come before me. That's why they call it history you create new history.

I love to play bid whist as much as I love football.

Always, through my whole life, I've had a thirst for knowledge.

I don't have to get up in the morning and go beat up my body like I used to. I don't have to be out there in August in 108 degree weather down in Texas.
