That's what being a leader is all about. If the other players see you in a non-positive mind set, that affects them. I have to present an air of confidence at all times.

I'm not an athlete; I'm a quarterback. I don't have great speed, and I can't throw 90 yards down the field. I win games because I've done the mental preparation.

The biggest thing is not to lose your confidence and realize you've got to work through those mistakes to yourself a chance to improve.

We're still as confident, as optimistic as we ever were. You know we hit a little stumbling block here, but I think it's going to be good for us because we can learn from it.

Winning is about believing you're never out of a game. I've always believed that.

I'm lucky - we're all lucky - to be playing a game for a living.

What I try to do is create an energy, create an excitement, but at the same time keep everybody focused and realize it's still just a game, that we have to move the football.

My energy level rises but I get calmer, if that's possible. What a lot of people tend to do is get real tight and get all psyched up and take themselves out of their game.

Football is what I love, and I know I can do it, too.

To me, I'm still a 24-year-old kid who just happens to have a better paying job than other kids my age.

I looked out again at the rising moon and I let the weight of my day, my week, lift away with the rushing wind as I was blown into the depths of myself.

Moms are life's number one cheerleaders without uniforms.

I am not afraid of death, but would not want to die in some obscure or pointless way.

I feel like we sometimes let our emotions and anger get in the way.

You don't have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it'll go.

I like movies about women behaving badly, because women behave badly just like men, and we're not always adorable and cute about it.

There are times when I feel uninspired and I don't want to compose. I call these my 'bewitched' periods. I have to be touched with a magic wand.

Certain money is not always good money. It could be just being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I mean, if you have your priorities in check then for the most part it's easy.

Dance is the pure language of the soul - it's been with us from the very beginning.

War begins like a pretty girl with whom every man wants to flirt and ends like an ugly old woman whose visitors suffer and weep.
