I did some good things as a rookie.

Emmitt Smith is a great running back. One of the things I like about him along with Edgerrin James is that neither one of them 'show out' when they run a touchdown.

Somebody will always break your records. It is how you live that counts.

I learned from different guys I played with, too. The key was probably three people: The good Lord, the offensive linemen I played with and great fullbacks that could block very well.

If it weren't for the dark days, we wouldn't know what it is to walk in the light.

When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before.

Everything in life has a price on it - there ain't a damn thing free in America, and football has got a price on it.

I played football with my whole body - My hands, my head, my face. I did it all.

When I was a kid and got in trouble, I'd always say, Mom, I'm in trouble. Well, Mom, I'm in trouble.

Fear is not a sin in the taiga, but cow­ardice is [..].

When my hands can no longer make these hammers and strings play for you, my heart will always sing to you.

I was persisting in reading my present environment in the light of my old one.

Helped are those who are content to be themselves; they will never lack mystery in their lives and the joys of self-discovery will be constant.

Life is so damned hard, so damned hard... It just hurts people and hurts people, until finally it hurts them so that they can't be hurt ever any more. That's the last and worst thing it does.

Real power is creating stuff.

I really get fired up with female protagonists. I can really feel the difference in myself when I am writing a script that has a woman at the center.

Public faith means going public with what’s in your heart, with humility and respect for others, as we speak of the truth of the gospel.

Study yourself. Find your strong points and make them stronger as well as your weak ones and strengthen them. Study yourself carefully and you will see yourself as you really are.
