“Leadership can’t be forced or contrived. It has to be your personality.”

The QB is going to be judged, fair or unfair, on success in the playoffs. You remember QBs who have won 3 or 4 Super Bowls

I think being recognized more is something you have to get used to, whether it’s your homeland or when you’re traveling. People recognize me from my play or a commercial I’ve done. It’s just a normal part of life.

As long as I have my legs and commitment to the team, then I’ll keep playing.

The pressure I put on myself is the only pressure I’m feeling once I get into the game.

I think as you get older, you realize there’s always going to be critics. Critics are going to win every time because they can change their critique based on the stats and their own personal feelings.

I’ve always seemed to have my best performances when I’m under the most pressure.

I think very highly of myself. I think I’m capable of a lot of things on the field.

Tonight is not a setback. It’s just a learning experience.

I’m just going to say I’m not gay. I really, really like women.

I’m always looking for challenges.

I know I’m capable of greatness, and I’m expecting to reach that level.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

If you describe things as better than they are, you are considered to be a romantic; if you describe things as worse than they are, you will be called a realist; and if you describe things exactly as they are, you will be thought of as a satirist.

I will be rich or I will die trying.

Fear must be entirely banished. The purified soul will fear nothing.
