“Every experience, good or bad, you have to learn from.”

No one really sees pro athletes behind the scenes. They don’t know how hard they work. They don’t see how you work on the basics. They couldn’t possibly know. You wouldn’t think that someone who hits like Alex Rodriguez needs to use a tee every day. But that’s how he stayed on top of it.

They had a good game plan and they came out fast. We started slow, but we picked it up. You just have got to trust in the process and not try to do too much and things will start happening and having success your way.

Not a lot of people see that when you’re growing up. You don’t get to see that people really have to work hard to become as good as they are.

When I scramble and do those things, I try to look downfield, look for the playmakers, put it in their hands, and let them make all the big plays happen.

You want to be in the first round. That’s the dream. That’s what you see on draft night.

I’m a little quick – I can run a little bit – but I know I can’t make a lot happen. So my thinking always was, ‘Why don’t you put it in the fast guys’ hands and let them make plays.

The furthest I have even thrown the ball was 85 yards. But I had a little wind at my back, so I don’t claim that one.

Definitely, as a competitor, you want to get out there and play.

You can always regret just missing it, but as a football player, you have to move on to the next play.

Playing the scout-team quarterback in practice really helped develop my game.

The team aspect of football and just playing quarterback, having the ball in your hands, having to make the plays, that was definitely something I loved.

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 don’t think human beings are bad. They’re weak. And that’s what makes ’em bad.

Working people have alot of bad habits, but the worst of these is work.

It was at a vividly bad time in Norman Mailer’s life that I met him, and a sort of water-treading time in mine. He had stabbed his wife, and I was a copy boy at Time magazine.

All I want for christmas is your warmth, near the firing woods. Cuddling on the chair, swinging in merry times, forgetting our bad lies.

I had my first kiss when I was 11, but I think I’ve blocked it out of my mind because it was so bad. I’m not even sure it counts as a kiss.

Sin doesn’t make you bad, it makes you dead.

The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man, and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game.

The cure for bad politics is the same as the cure for tuberculosis. It is living in the open.
