I like the laid-back, polite, respectful courteous personality cowboys have. Guys almost lay down their life for you if they're your friends. You exist on a handshake rather than a signed contract.

I can't be No. 1 with an MVP trophy. I could be No. 1 with the championship ring and the championship trophy on my fireplace.

Do I race motorcycles? I do. I use the word 'race' because, I admit, what I do on a motocross bike is different than riding a Harley down the street.

Some guys play not to get hurt, and they're never really as good as they can be. That's not the way I play.

Winning is the only thing that makes me happy. Ask my wife. I don't get happy about anniversaries or birthdays. I don't care about that. Just winning.

I'm a Mormon. I don't do a lot of the off-the-field activities that athletes are known to do. And I guess I've created a world that is unlike the typical world of a professional athlete.

I'm tired of leaving my wife at home with no nanny and no cook to take care of four kids by herself.

In times of failure you are alone. But success brings many friends.

Condoms aren't completely safe. A friend of mine was wearing one . . . and got hit by a bus.

Archaeology is the peeping Tom of the sciences. It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going they merely want to know where everyone else has been.

I don't want to take photographs that I won't recognize as myself, and myself isn't necessarily just blankly staring at the lens.

Realism is simply Romanticism that has lost its reason...that is its reason for existing.

In recovering from our creative blocks, it is necessary to go gently and slowly... These are baby steps. Progress, not perfection, is what we should be asking of ourselves.

I never do anything I don't want to do. Nor does anyone, but in my case I am always aware of it.

We become leaders when we accept the responsibility to protect those in our care.

Just like Pagliacci did, I try to keep my surface hid. Smiling in the crowd I try, but in a lonely room I cry.

I don't use the Internet, but apparently you can find out everything on it.
