One of the reasons I'm lucky is to be around an owner like Jerry Jones. I'm not just saying it. The reality of it is the guy wants to win. As a quarterback, you need ownership and people in the front office and organization to help you win. If you don't get that help, you're always going to be fighting an uphill battle. You feel that, being a part of this organization with Jerry, that he's going to bring in people and sign people and want to improve this football team every year. It allows you to feel like, hey, we have a chance and I have a chance to do some special things around here.

I think you use the negative things that happen from the year before - and from other years, too - to spur you to do the things you need to do to take the next step.

I feel like I'm going to be with the Cowboys the rest of my career, definitely. I love it.

I think people just like rooting. If they like you, they're going to want to root for you and you're one of theirs. And if they don't like you? It doesn't matter.

You know you are going to go through your ups and downs in this game.

Everyone runs their own race.

You just work at it. You just keep grinding away, keep trying to get better, and if you got the ability, one day you have a chance.
