“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.”

I want people to know that I’m going to leave every single thing on the field.

You can have the big arm, and that’s good, and it helps out in the games, but it doesn’t help you necessarily win games.

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

If you want to win games in this league, you have to be efficient.

I was that little kid: I was the one that was looking up to athletes and getting to see them and getting to be a part of it, and I remember those experiences.

You dream of your first NFL start when you’re a little kid, playing football in the backyard, but until you get there, you never know what to expect.

I didn’t start playing football a lot until I was in high school. I played it in seventh and eighth grade, but I didn’t play Pop Warner or anything.

I was a good student and stuff like that.

Kids in sports – it makes such an impact in life with the lessons that you learn.

I feel like, even if something goes wrong, I have confidence in myself and my team that we’ll fix it.

East Texas isn’t known for producing quarterbacks. I was never really on the football circuit. I wasn’t the type of guy that put my name out there.

It’s not like I mean to throw no-look passes. I think it kind of happens out of instinct. As I do it, I’m like, ‘Dang, I didn’t even mean to do that.

I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all, I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody.

You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.

I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn’t stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.

The goal was scored a little bit by the hand of God, another bit by the head of Maradona.

You were only a goalkeeper.

You know it’s going to hell when the best rapper out there is white and the best golfer is black.

Our objective in South Vietnam has never been the annihilation of the enemy. It has been to bring about a recognition in Hanoi that its objective – taking over the South by force – could not be achieved.

I’ve always had goals, always had visions, always had a plan, always been very strategic.
