“The coaches can only take you so far. You have to want to learn and work.”

I am always struggling in finding time to daily grow in my faith. If you are not in the Word or focusing on Christ, or into prayer, you can’t help but slip at times.

The butterflies I get are not if somebody boos me in the crowd, or somebody talks trash about me during the week, or somebody on ESPN rips me. It’s the pressure that I’m putting on myself.

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

Aaron Rodgers, starting quarterback – that just has a good ring to it.

It’s named the Lombardi Trophy for a reason, because we play and live in Titledown. We’ve got the best fans, and I can’t wait to go home and see those fans and bring home the Lombardi Trophy.

I know a lot of friends and family who were Joe Montana fans, where it didn’t matter how well Steve Young did. They weren’t going to cheer for him because he wasn’t Joe Montana.

I think the guys are starting to rally around my leadership style and the way I do things. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity my whole life.

The guys who stick around are the smartest guys and the guys who are the most self-driven. You have to have drive. The coaches can only take you so far. You have to want to learn and work.

Getting adjusted regularly is part of my goal to win in life and on the field.

I think the talent is there to get to Super Bowl 5.

If we can string together some wins this year, maybe I’ll be a close second-or third behind Bart Starr-on their favorite quarterback list.

I’ve always been supremely confident in my abilities. But the biggest confidence boost is when the guys around you, you feel like they have confidence in you.

R-E-L-A-X. I’m still getting paid millions of dollars.

He cares about the people involved, but I don’t think he’s a big football fan.

You can’t turn the ball over and expect to win.

The challenge to be the best is what drives me and to just improve my body every day.

The trick is to learn a positive lesson from all of life’s negative moments.

Unnatural to expect that learning to be happy should be any easier than, say, learning to play the violin or require any less practice.

Never too late to learn some embarrassingly basic, stupidly obvious things about oneself.

There may be significant things to learn about people by looking at what annoys them most.

Or try out what I learned and see how it worked with an audience, because where are you gonna get an audience?

I learnt to stop fantasising about the perfect job or the perfect relationship because that can actually be an excuse for not living.

I do original songs in the style of other artists, where I try to learn all their musical idiosyncrasies and try to do something that sounds like them and yet is a bit more sick and twisted.

My first language was shy. It’s only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.
