Now that I'm retired, I want to say that all defensive linemen are sissies.

I'm a polyatheist - there are many gods I don't believe in.

So much of what you do physically happens because you've thought about it and mentally prepared for it.

One of the great things personally coming to Hawai'i is my friendship of Jim Nicholson.

I'm over it. You strive to win a Super Bowl and you do everything you can to get there. But being in the Hall of Fame, you never play for that honor. It's incredible.

I remember Terry being exhausted from his latest Super Bowl win and all the things that go with it.

First of all, it was such an honor to be chosen. You had to be voted in by players and coaches that time. But having it in Hawai'i was a brilliant idea.

Nothing good happens when you jump in the air.

I try to keep an even keel.

I always loved going to Hawai'i; it was very, very special.

Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses the power to take in a new idea.

The thing about the sun… is that it’s always there. Like sometimes, you can’t see it, but it never really goes away.

I'm an atheist .I was raised in British reform Judaism, which is not like American reform Judaism, much less any other strain of organised religion. So: no cults here.

Somewhere along the way one discovers that what one has to tell is not nearly so important as the telling itself.

Sometimes when you're at your most certain, that's when everything you know is wrong.

Keep a good heart. That's the most important thing in life. It's not how much money you make or what you can acquire. The art of it is to keep a good heart.

If some beggar steals a bridle he'll be hung by a man who's stolen a horse.

The most pernicious aspect of procrastination is that it can become a habit. We don't just put off our lives today; we put them off till our deathbed.

We are the only species which, when it chooses to do so, will go to great effort to save what it might destroy.

I never want to listen to the songs in front of people close to me. There's an emotional honesty in that place where it's not earnest but it's vulnerable.
