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.

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.

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.

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.

The problem is not that you cannot have what you think you want. The problem is that when you get what you think you want it won't satisfy.

I want to liberate my imagination and my mind with every kind of movie. That is what I wanted to do all my life.

Unhappiness does make people look stupid.

The most difficult challenge that Governments have faced since the dinosaurs roamed the earth.

In Ireland, I don't get asked out much. English boys are a lot more flirty.

Hope is not something you can just place in your back pocket or put your fingers around – it’s the belief in a world that has yet to exist.

Every message, regardless of form or content, is an expression of a need.
