“I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.”

The biggest thing isn’t necessarily how I play, but that we win. That’s my number-one goal. I could be the worst quarterback out there, but if we come out with a victory that’s all that matters to me.

People don’t realize that I’m mobile, athletic and strong-armed.

It’s an honor to be compared with Terry Bradshaw. If I could do half of what he did, I’d be very happy.

In my heart, I know I haven’t been the best person, the best quarterback for the Steelers, I’m not talking just on the field, I’m talking off the field.

In the playoffs, it is do or die. You win or you go home. As a competitor, you love it.

As your body deteriorates, your natural talents start to go a little bit. You have to bring in physical working out, building, taking protein and doing extra stuff.

I think that this year, I just come out and play smart football. I got some good advice the other day (from CBS Sports Dan Dierdorf): Every drive that ends in a kick is a good drive.

Basketball was always my first love, but once I had a good year as a senior, I figured the next step was to play college football.

Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress, Jerome Bettis-they are great leaders. I listen to everything they say.

Leadership is something you earn, something you’re chosen for. You can’t come in yelling, ‘I’m your leader!’ If it happens, it’s because the other guys respect you.

Usually when we lose a game is because we turn the ball over or not play well enough and usually it is the turnover thing. We have to take care of the ball. It is starts with me and not turning it over.

I think I can get five, six, seven more years out of this arm and these legs.

Big Ben just kept building up. It ended up coming off the field. It kept taking over. Superman kept taking over Clark Kent and you just never saw who Ben Roethlisberger was any more.

I’m going to try to be better than I ever was.

I have a great family. I can call them and they don’t want to talk just football They want to find out how my day went outside of football.

I feel that Im not losing the game for our team. Im trying to give us the best opportunity to win the football game. I did everything I could to lose the Jets game but we won. And the Patriots game, I didnt play well.

If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me

But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win.

Life is not fair. And you have to choose your battles, because there are some that you cannot win. If you’re passionate about something, then you should pick up your flag and run with it.

Even if parties associated with right wing populism don’t win, they push other parties, the centrist parties, towards their position. So they do have an influence even if they’re not in power.

We’re scared of losing. That’s why we win. We know what it’s like to lose and we hate it. We enjoy being champions too much.

First of all, a man, whether seeking achievement on the athletic field or in business, must want to win. He must feel that the thing he is doing is worthwhile; so worthwhile that he is willing to pay the price of success to attain distinction.

Containment is a strategy for losers! But as General George S. Patton famously observed, Americans play to win all the time. Americans don’t play to lose.

I think one day I’d like to win an Oscar.
