“Right after the game, say as little as possible.”

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.

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.

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.

The [Bob] Dylan sessions were very disorganized, to say the least. I mean, the “Like A Rolling Stone” session I was invited by the producer to watch.

And when you hit him, he runs to the teacher and says, ‘Teacher, sue him.’

The bipartisan approach filtered up through my typewriter. I used to say, “Mad takes on both sides.”

They say…the stopwatch never lies. Speed kills but absolute speed kills absolutely.

But when the veteran has a dog, the same people will come up and say, ‘Hi’ to pet the dog and then strike up a conversation.

When you make a bet, you’re saying something.

I don’t think you ever write a song with any intention except the song’s about such and such per say.

I’m not one for being too profound, but I will say this. If you wanna have a good time.
