I was a competitive guy growing up.

Working your core always, your foot speed, jumping rope, push-ups and sit-ups - things like that are really important. Those things will pay off more than just doing what a bench press will.

My family background has always been very supportive. They're going to be there for me no matter what.

It means the world to me to represent the Hispanic community.

I think I have a natural ability to lead.

It has been my dream since I was just a little kid to play in the NFL ... I can't tell you how excited I am for this dream to come true.

I'm not trying to prove how Mexican I am or how American I am. I'm proud to be both.

The chance of winning a Super Bowl in a city like New York, there's nothing like it. Once you win one, you get that bug to win another one, that edge.

The Latino community, they're some of the most loyal fans on the planet.

Some people wanted me to be the Latino quarterback. Some people wanted me to be the USC quarterback who happens to be Latino.

As the member of a firefighter family myself, supporting the widowed families of rescue workers is an important, personal cause of mine.

The moment is a miracle.

Just when we stopped wanting to kill ourselves, we started to die.

I am an eternal optimist. Being happy is a choice. And you can make that choice every day, if you want to.

If I'd had good discipline, I might have gone into music.

And in spite of all the mastery we've attained, we don't have enough mastery to stop devastating the world, or to repair the devastation we've already wrought.

I think professionalism is important, and professionalism means you get paid.

Success simple disciplines, practiced every day, while failure a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. Choose to succeed.

I work like a bee and feel that I accomplish little.

A reputation is really hard to live down.

No one is alone during tribulations - there's always someone else thinking, rejoicing or suffering in the same way. This thought gives us strength to face the challenge that lies in front of us.
