“I figured something out. And it is no secret what I figured out. Whatever the majority of people were doing, I found myself doing the opposite. I wanted to chase something great.”

My game is me. I didn’t try to pattern my game after nobody.

Will you be remembered, how would you be remembered, why wouldn’t you fight for the greatest achievement ever?

Who knows what the future holds? It’s all on parenting, one way or another. I don’t care what level it is, it comes back to people learning how to deal with people.

Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don’t walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life, that’s the ultimate vision, that’s the ultimate goal – bottom line.

You don’t have to win it, just don’t lose it.

You have to be honest about who you are.

Do you need guarantees to be great!

I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself.

If you have kids who are struggling with dyslexia, the greatest gift you can give them is the sense that nothing is unattainable. With dyslexia comes a very great gift, which is the way that your mind can think creatively.

Ninety-nine percent of people believe they can’t do great things, so they aim for mediocrity.

People en masse have always been wonderful to me. I truly have a great love for an audience. I want to give them two hours of just pow.
