You've got to stand up and do your own battles. My daddy taught me that a long time ago, that you fight your own battles. The only way to shut everybody up is to win.

I'm on national TV in front of millions and I hate making mistakes.

Imagine yourself sitting on top of a great thoroughbred horse. You sit up there and you just feel that power. That's what it was like playing quarterback on that team [the Pittsburgh Steelers]. It was a great ride.

When I played for the Steelers and I got my bell rung, I'd take smelling salts and go right back out there.

Fans are fans. I hated and loved them, hated and loved them, hated and loved them.

People ask me all the time would I like to still be playing? No. I'm glad I played when I played.
