There's a couple things you don't talk about in life, and that's race, religion and politics. I try to make sure I don't talk about politics at all.

No one coaches what to do after three seconds, after the quarterback's broken the pocket or he's been in the pocket for five, six seconds.

There's a fine line between playing with fear and then taking bad plays and playing with no fear.

When you have fans who are hassling you the entire game and you ignore them, they respect you because their job is to try and distract you. And if they don't distract you, that means you're focused on doing your job. And who knows, by the end, sometimes you even win them over.

That's the goal. Just to go out and not try to prove anybody wrong but just let your talents speak for themselves.

I know I'm the No. 1 quarterback for the Washington Redskins, and that's all that matters in my heart. That's all I wanted. I wanted a team that wanted me, and I found that.
