“I talked about my family, my family’s so important.”

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can’t trust em.

Conceive the inconceivable – then accomplish it.

No matter what business you’re in, you can’t run in place or someone will pass you by. It doesn’t matter how many games you’ve won.

You need to have a dream, a goal, and you must be willing to work hard.

Never give up! Failure and rejection are only the first step to succeeding.

Every day ordinary people do extra-ordinary things!

Never give up, never ever give up.

People think I have courage. The courage in my family are my wife Pam, my three daughters, here, Nicole, Jamie, LeeAnn, my mom, who’s right here too.

Why shouldn’t I milk it? We’re an agricultural institution.

Spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get you’re emotions going.

I can’t tell you what an honor it is, to even be mentioned in the same breath with Arthur Ashe. This is something I certainly will treasure forever.

In every single day, in every walk of life, ordinary people do extraordinary things. Ordinary People accomplish Extraordinary things.

Life changes when you least expect it to. The future is uncertain. So, seize this day, seize this moment, and make the most of it.

I’ll also tell you that five hundred thousand people will die this year of cancer. And I’ll also tell you that one in every four will be afflicted with this disease, and yet, somehow, we seem to have put it in a little bit of the background.

If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day.

The difference between Namath and me is that when you make the money he makes, they say you’re ruggedly handsome. When you make the money I make, they say you have a big nose. (On resembling Joe Namath)

I came from a big family. As a matter of fact, I never got to sleep alone until I was married.

A mother is the best friend God ever gave.

I’ve always just had troubles with my family because I’m psychotic. It had nothing to do with that.

OF COURSE I’d like to be the ideal mother. But I’m too busy raising children.

I’m done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn’t seem like any fun.

I wasn’t born to a wealthy or powerful family – mother from Puerto Rico, dad from the South Bronx.

Mommy would never divorce Daddy. He’s just like one of the family.

I do want children. I study dads more. I watch what they go through. I admire my father more than I ever did and my brother and my sister.
