Life is not living in the suburbs with a white picket fence. That's not life. Somehow our American culture has made it out that that's what life needs to be - and that if it's not that, it's all screwed up. It's not.

The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.

You know, watching Dan Marino and Steve Young get nominated to the Hall of Fame... those guys are unbelievable and they did it for so long. I'd love to play like those guys, but there's still a long way to go and a lot of growing.

As an athlete, when you are on that field and the fans get really engaged and you can feel their energy and passion and true love of the game, it is absolutely a spiritual experience.

Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brishing your teath is the hardest part of the day - it all just hurts.

If you're a quarterback, you want everything on your shoulders. You want to be the one to make the decisions.

If I have something to say, I want it to be meaningful.
