“With each game I play, with each season I play, I’m running out of chances. You’re never guaranteed next year. You’re never guaranteed the next game. You have to seize the opportunity when it’s there in front of you.”

You have to believe you’re great. You have to have an air about you. My success wasn’t because I was a great talent, but because I wanted it more than anybody else. Every minute I step on that field, I want to prove I’m the best player in the league.

You’re never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they’re in front of you.

I consider adversity being good sometimes you know.

I’ve always been a Packer, always will be a Packer.

Most talented players don’t always succeed. Some don’t even make the team. It’s more what’s inside.

It’s been a wonderful career, I couldn’t ask for anything more.

It’s been six years since I have had a drink and I have two girls, and my priorities are a lot different now and I just can’t believe I was that guy. And I would not go back, I would not trade the way I am now for anything.

You know, I’ve had my ups and downs.

It is unlikely Yanukovich won. If he did, his government made it impossible to determine.

I know I can still play, but it’s like I told my wife, I’m just tired mentally. I’m just tired.

I know it’s not a one man team win or lose.

I don’t need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.

If I can change than anyone can change. I promise you that.

No matter what you do, you’ll never run away from you.

I’m not leaving the fight just because I decided not to run. I’m going to expand my political action committee and volunteer for it. I’m going to do lots of other things where I will have a voice. So I’m not leaving the fight.

There’s no magic to running far or climbing Everest. Endurance is mental strength. It’s all about heart.

I’m from Kansas, so there were a lot of vacant lots and open fields to tackle each other in so we could avoid tackling each other on the street. But running on the street and trying not to get taken down on the concrete, that will make you fast, that’s for sure.

First of all, I’ve been having a wonderful run of luck with cover albums, songs I didn’t write. I had five pop cover albums and two Christmas albums, and they were all very successful.

Grief is like the wind. When it’s blowing hard, you adjust your sails and run before it. If it blows too hard, you stay in the harbor, close the hatches and don’t take calls.

People compare me to Isiah Thomas because of my quickness and change-of-direction, the way I change speeds and run the team.

Most of us have very clear memories of the self-critical internal conversation running on in our heads while we were playing poorly, and yet it often seems that we hardly remember noticing it at all while we were playing well.
