Reaching 50, I've started to conjure up thoughts of my own mortality.

I can't compare quarterbacks as apples and oranges in my mind because everybody's in a different system.

It's all about putting the best team together - not just in the front office but the players on the field.

I've experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I think to really appreciate anything you have to be at both ends of the spectrum.

In the long run, the cream always rises and the crap always sinks.

I always believe there's a reason why you go through everything.

You learn a lot more from the lows because it makes you pay attention to what you're doing.

I look at my career and it's still hard for me to believe the way things turned out and how things happened. I've been so blessed.

Being thrown into the fire and getting the thing turned around in a hurry made it more difficult. Things have been done the hard way. I think you learn better when things are done the hard way.

I'm getting the basics with the AFL, but the NFL is a different animal

There are a lot of people who might not get another chance to win a Super Bowl, not just me.

There is no shortcut to confidence building

Caveat emptor is the only motto going, and the worst proverb that ever came from the dishonest stony-hearted Rome.

The different social forces that affected my parents' lives or my friends' lives or I saw around me became essential for me to write about.

Words without action are like wheels without traction. It is how you live that counts.

Well, over the years, I've developed a stable of songs of which I'm known for and never get tired of singing.

I long to talk with some old lover's ghost, Who died before the god of love was born.

Why add prime numbers? Prime numbers are made to be multiplied, not added.

I am myself: a light. In me you find your fate. So be not blind to the truth shining from my glow.

I've been lucky. I've met a lot of baseball people, and I've learned to value people who talk - people who talk well and in long sentences and even long paragraphs.

Urban pop culture is its own phenomena that is for some reason is left out of Hollywood. It's the most mainstream thing there is.
