“I try to block out everything that distracts me. Even a big play, I blank it out.”

If you’re disciplined enough, you don’t get down when you’re behind, and you have a chance to create something positive.

Every coach has his own style of play, but when you spend your whole life as a Cowboy, you have to be influenced by what we did.

If I had to pick my greatest strength as a football coach, I say it would be innovation.

People striving, being knocked down and coming back… this is what builds character in a man.

Therefore, I never worry about tomorrow or never worry about winning or losing football games. That knowledge gives me a lot of composure in tough situations.

Today, you have 100% of your life left.

Really, coaching is simplicity. It’s getting players to play better than they think that they can.

Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it’s so incredible, it’s unbelievable.

Confidence comes from knowing what you’re doing. If you are prepared for something, you usually do it. If not, you usually fall flat on your face.

If they lose, then their life has somehow been diminished. I’m not that way, and it keeps me steady.

I’ve come to the conclusion that players want to be treated alike.

You don’t have to drink or swear or hit people in the face when they’re not looking, but you do have to be tough to win.

Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

If you eliminate our way of life, the American way of life, what is the effect… what are the alternatives?

Achievement builds character.

If you don’t win a Super Bowl, you’re not considered successful in the National Football League. I can remember, when we finally won that first one, feeling so good for the players and fans.

You may be big in New York, but in Walters, Oklahoma, you’re nobody.

Just take a big belly laugh. I have watched people laughing, and for a moment they look-and are-absolutely helpless. . You can be assaulted while you are laughing.

I guess my goal is to design my own walker. The walkers with the big tennis balls, no one wants to use those. I would rather crawl down the street in New York City than use those.

For all the best teachers pride themselves on having a large number of pupils and think themselves worthy of a bigger audience.

How do I soothe his ache when mine was a big gaping hole large enough for both of us to fit in?

Thankfully we had a big drive there in the fourth quarter after the fumble to put us up 11, and then the big drive to finish the game.

I’m living the dream. I’ve got a big tour bus, an incredible band, a big house, and a family that are all taken care of through my music. I’ve got a beautiful wife and three beautiful kids.

I listen to all kinds of music, but I’ve always been a really big fan of Top 40 radio. If I’m in my car, that’s what I listen to.
