“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.”

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.

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.

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.

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

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 was that little kid: I was the one that was looking up to athletes and getting to see them and getting to be a part of it, and I remember those experiences.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn’t quite match that improvement.

In the last year I have gained a lot of experience because I have been playing against top players and realized what things to work on to get better. Top players basically tell you what your weaknesses are on the court.

Don’t be afraid to rebrand yourself.

I’m an actor who evolves once the shoot starts.

I wanted to become a better Snoop Dogg, full of water, proteins and stuff to keep me alive. Lollipops and Big Macs.

Everyone is constantly transitioning.

We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year; we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.
