“I ain’t never had much fun. I ain’t never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose.”

I tell young players who want to be coaches, who think they can put up with all the headaches and heartaches, can you live without it? If you can live without it, don’t get in it.

Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

I’ve made so many mistakes that if I don’t make the same mistakes over, we’re going to come pretty close to winning.

There’s a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

A few minutes ago, I had a hard time getting through the lobby because of all the people. After today, that won’t be happening.

Recognize winners. They come in all forms.

A champion pays an extra price to be better than anyone else.

I’ll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we’ll be champions.

It’s kind of hard to rally around a math class.

I’d like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain’t never been nothin but a winner.

You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.

I’ll never give up on a player regardless of his ability as long as he never gives up on himself. In time he will develop.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it’s what his players know that counts.

I’m no innovator. If anything I’m a stealer, or borrower. I’ve stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.

Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you’ll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don’t have a plan. That’s why it’s easy to beat most folks.

When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead.

It’s really fun to be on stage in front of people.

It’s really fun to put yourself into a character – into shoes you wouldn’t normally be in.

So, have a little fun. Soon enough you’ll be dead and burning in Hell with the rest of your family.

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

I don’t want people at my shows to come out and say, ‘I just saw a cool show.’ I want them to say, ‘I had fun at the show.’

Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird.

Adventures are never fun while you’re having them.
