“Most of the time, I don’t see the great catch or the long run. What I’m looking at is how the other team defended it.”

I’ve learned that something constructive comes from every defeat.

Leadership is getting someone to do what they don’t want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.

I try to block out everything that distracts me. Even a big play, I blank it out.

People say you have to know when to retire, which is a dumb thing to say. If you want to go out on top, yeah, it becomes important when you quit. But I wasn’t afraid of that. And I wasn’t worried about getting fired.

As a Christian, I know my life is in God’s hands. He has a plan for me.

People will forget me pretty quick.

I don’t believe in team motivation. I believe in getting a team prepared so it knows it will have the necessary confidence when it steps on a field and be prepared to play a good game.

My hats did give me an identity. In fact, if I had a dollar for every time someone has seen me bareheaded and said, ‘I almost didn’t recognize you without a hat on’, I could have bought the Cowboys myself.

Generally, achieving goals… which in many cases means winning… is really the ultimate in this life we live in.

I at least wanted them to get into a respectable position before anyone else took over.

If you don’t believe in winning, you don’t believe in free enterprise, capitalism, our way of life.

Right after the game, say as little as possible.

When you want to win a game, you have to teach. When you lose a game, you have to learn.

The greatest thing is to win your first Super Bowl.

If you were to see me as a cheerleader, that would mean I was only watching instead of thinking.

I know that life is really finding the right relationship between yourself and God.

Focus on the long term, and always do what’s right to grow the company and not make short-term decisions. And outlast everyone one.

Let’s bring it inside! Not a formula for long-term survival. Now if they had formed a task force to study the Trojan Horse and report back to a committee

I am not a book collector, and I am not fussy about particular editions.

Each of the bracelets I wear is from a long trip I’ve taken. One is from Nicaragua. One is from Nepal. One is from Guatemala. One is from Laos.

My TV stays on ESPN all day long, I’m one of those. I don’t even listen to music in the car, all I listen to is sports talk.

We’re a long way from the embargo ending. Look at what just happened with the rollback of Obama’s Cuba policies. Two idiot congressmen convinced our idiot president to make it harder on Cubans on the island.

My heroes are the camera crew and the electricians. They work such long hours.

As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.
