I've learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over.

I really find myself doing a lot better when I'm injured, so sometimes I look forward to it. This is the style that I play-being physical, running the football, making adjustments on the pass, avoiding the rush. Those sorts of things go with the total package of a quarterback.

The tide has changed. You have to be able to improvise in today's NFL.

I've never believed anyone could put more pressure on me than I put on myself. People expect great things from me. I expect great things from myself.

Pressure is what you make of it. It makes me play harder.

I'm proud of where I come from. A lot of people leave Mississippi, and their claim to fame is somewhere else. But I have so many moral values that made me the person I am now.

I think I've always had the abilities, but the object has been to perform as well as I can.
