When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.

After my first knee operation, in January of '65 before I went to the Jets, Dr. James Nicholas told me everything went well and that I could probably play four years in the NFL. The surgery was trailblazing to a certain extent.

Until my senior year, baseball and basketball were my best sports; and even when I was a senior, I still wanted to play baseball professionally. But the family wanted me to go to college and I guess I agreed with them or else I would have accepted some of the offers I got.

I like music and I like ladies. I like to see them dance.

I've figured out that life in general is a team effort; it's a team game.

You learn how to be a gracious winner and an outstanding loser.

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.
