“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 can tell when coaches have a confidence in you.

When you’re in this league, you have to do something every single day. You have off days, but those off days are usually watching film.

I love being able to come in every single day and work out and watch film and practice with guys who are all striving for the same goal.

You have to be secure with the ball. You can’t lose it.

I’ve been a fan of ketchup for as long as I can remember, and the thick, rich flavor of Hunt’s ketchup delivers every time.

I try to just focus in on being in the same routine every single day.

I think, as quarterback and as a football player, you always want to get better.

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.

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.

Confidence Tell Coaches The quarterbacks that win. Those are the quarterbacks that are talked about for being great.

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.

I’m Muslim the way many of my Jewish friends are Jewish: I avoid pork, and I take the big holidays off.

I’m a machine freak. I just love it when you can get a big ol’ steel machine to do the most that it’s capable of doing.

Though she be little she had the heart to dream big, by the pocketful.

Everybody knows we’re big liberals and I was a very outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter, and I still am. It’s impossible for us to separate the songs we’re writing from what’s going on in the world.

Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.

Animals play a big part in my life, on tour or at home.

We’ve always been trying to climb this ladder that leans so hard on our own idea of what our big songs are. We realized recently that we’re not a band with big songs.

And the biggest irony is you spend a lifetime finding someone to love and then die learning how to unlove them.
