You can't soar like an eagle and crap like a canary.

Tell me a fact, and I'll learn. Tell me a truth, and I'll believe. But tell me a story, and it will live in my heart forever.

Life is great, football is better.

Life is good. Football is better.

My father always used to say ‘treat everyone as a gentleman; not because they are, but because you are.’

But I can tell you this: Nothing will happen up there that can duplicate my life down here. That life cannot be better than the one I've lived down here, the football life. It's been perfect.

Treat everyone like a gentleman, not because they are, but because you are.

To me, football is very personal. Even as a kid, I looked at football in dramaturgical terms. It wasn't the score that interested me, it was the struggle.

I've always believed in making films that you make the little decisions with your head, but you make the big decisions with your heart.

The autumn wind is a Raider, / Pillaging just for fun; / He'll knock you around, / And upside down, / And laugh when he's conquered and won.

I always was fascinated by neat nicknames.

I rather fight for light then to go blind in night.

If everyone loves you, maybe you don't need so many tanks.

We don't have the time to completely be ourselves. We only have the room to be happy.

Inevitably we start by thinking that if our work is any good, we'll get money. It's as we would if you started up a business or if you work in another profession.

I've never walked out of a room and had a disagreement as to what was said.

I would always wait to take you home.

Please tell me what can I do. There must be something I can do

And even though people try to pretend that pain doesn't do anything to them, none of us can really handle it. Everything bad we do in our life is because of pain of some kind.

I think the biggest thing for all athletes is recovery - being able to bounce back from week to week, practice to practice, to come back in top form.

Business first; pleasure afterwards.
