“I just try to learn from every mistake that I make so that I never make them again.”

In the pocket, I usually keep two hands on the ball.

When I was young I used to eat ketchup sandwiches – just bread and ketchup.

You can tell when coaches have a confidence in you.

When you’re in this league, you have to do something every single day. You have off days, but those off days are usually watching film.

I love being able to come in every single day and work out and watch film and practice with guys who are all striving for the same goal.

You have to be secure with the ball. You can’t lose it.

I’ve been a fan of ketchup for as long as I can remember, and the thick, rich flavor of Hunt’s ketchup delivers every time.

I try to just focus in on being in the same routine every single day.

I think, as quarterback and as a football player, you always want to get better.

No one really sees pro athletes behind the scenes. They don’t know how hard they work. They don’t see how you work on the basics. They couldn’t possibly know. You wouldn’t think that someone who hits like Alex Rodriguez needs to use a tee every day. But that’s how he stayed on top of it.

They had a good game plan and they came out fast. We started slow, but we picked it up. You just have got to trust in the process and not try to do too much and things will start happening and having success your way.

Not a lot of people see that when you’re growing up. You don’t get to see that people really have to work hard to become as good as they are.

When I scramble and do those things, I try to look downfield, look for the playmakers, put it in their hands, and let them make all the big plays happen.

You want to be in the first round. That’s the dream. That’s what you see on draft night.

I’m a little quick – I can run a little bit – but I know I can’t make a lot happen. So my thinking always was, ‘Why don’t you put it in the fast guys’ hands and let them make plays.

The furthest I have even thrown the ball was 85 yards. But I had a little wind at my back, so I don’t claim that one.

There is no perfect fit when you’re looking for the next big thing to do. You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around. The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.

I learned that the world didn’t see the inside of you, that it didn’t care a whit about the hopes and dreams, and sorrows, that lay masked by skin and bone. It was as simple, as absurd, and as cruel as that.

Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.

Oh, you who are trying to learn the marvel of Love through the copy book of reason, I’m very much afraid that you will never really see the point.

I’ve often said that my rats have taught me much more than I’ve taught them.

A lot of the stuff that my father told me not to do, I did it anyway and I ended up learning the hard way.

You’ve got to learn to live with what you can’t rise above.

The only useful thing I ever learned in school was that if you spit on your eraser it erased ink.
