“I’m not really worried about the other 31 teams.”

For a team to accomplish their goal, everybody’s got to give up a little bit of their individuality.

That has never been a priority for me and I want the players to deal with a harder situation in practice than they’ll ever have to deal with in the game. Maybe that’s part of our ball security philosophy.

To live in the past is to die in the present.

Some guys, football comes really easy to them; they can see what all 22 players are doing, can see what all 11 guys are doing on their side of the ball, how it all fits together. It’s easy for them.

I am who I am. In the end, I feel that what I’m accountable for is doing a good job as a football coach.

I’m not going to be able to talk about the people who are involved specifically in any ongoing judicial process.

It’s the business that you guys are in too. We try to get as much information as we can and make the best decisions that we can for the football team.

Not all teams use the same tests and certainly those tests are far from being 100 percent as well. It’s part of the process.

I was out of the country for a period of time but followed everything closely through other people in our organization and we’ve made the decisions that we felt were right for the football team and we’ll continue to do that and be as diligent as we can going forward.

I obviously understand that each team has the opportunity to prepare the balls the way they want, give them to the officials and the game officials either approve or disapprove the balls. That really was the end of it for me until I learned a little bit more about this .

I’m a football coach. I’m not a doctor … They don’t call plays, I don’t do surgeries. We have a great deal here.

When you get wet, it usually means something good.

I think everyone is a case-by-case basis. Whatever the circumstances are that come with any individual, they exist and you have to make a determination as to what your comfort level is with that person and the characteristics that they bring.

I think we all know that quarterbacks, kickers, specialists have certain preferences on footballs. They know a lot more about it than I do. They’re a lot more sensitive to it than I am.

We never use the condition of the footballs as an excuse. We play with whatever or kick with whatever we have to use and that’s the way it is.

Talent sets the floor, character sets the ceiling

It’s funny because if you ever ask anyone in England to try and do a Beatles accent, no one knows what they really sound like. If you ask anyone in America, they would try and give it a go. English people just know their songs.

I get on fine with my mum and dad, but if they want to see the grandchildren, they come to me.

I’ll get cast occasionally as sort of the jerk version of myself, and I have fun doing that. But it’s really better for everyone if I stay behind the camera.

I mean, I’ve never really had much security, to be honest.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an actor. I was acting in all the school plays. I went to school for acting. I was really sure that that’s what I wanted to do.

I’m just going to say I’m not gay. I really, really like women.

Of course, I’m not allowed to talk about the script, but I can say it is a really good story.

I want to tell you what it was really like to think death is imminent, but I can’t. It’s a taste in your mouth. And an emptiness.
