My legacy isn't about what I did playing football, but how I use the opportunities that came from playing football.

Sportsmanship is making sure you have respect for the guy you're playing across from.

It was about being wanted, it was about winning, and it was about my passion for the game. I just loved it. I absolutely loved to compete and to step out onto that football field with my teammates.

Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler and I used to argue for hours about who the best athletes are. I thought football players were better overall.

Even though my mother had told me growing up that, 'If you win, nobody cares what color you are,' that wasn't necessarily true in the N.F.L.

Throughout my career, I was never able to relax; I always had to go on the field with another responsibility. I felt like I was playing, not just for my team, but for my race.

To me, being in your prime means playing your best and feeling your best, too.

In football, it's the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen.

Quarterback is not a position that you come in having not played it your whole life.

I love basketball players for what they do for their size - so graceful.

I'm about a 160, 170 bowler so I feel like I'm pretty good - I'm average, but I don't stink, you know?

There is nothing wrong in saying something, but there should be no protection [insistence] that we are right.

Don't wait, just sweat.

What could a fool be thinking but further foolishness?

I never thought, in my lifetime, that you'd be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.

I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.

There's nothing like turning on the radio and listening to the high-speed chase that you're leading police on!

The road to your soul is through your heart.

Gardeners do first, read later. Why not? Plants are very gracious in accepting an apology.

The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple.
