You know, I've had my ups and downs.

Every game I've ever played, regardless if it was pre-season or Super Bowl, meant the same to me, and I laid it all on the line.

Life deals you a lot lessons, some people learn from it, some people don't.

Most talented players don't always succeed. Some don't even make the team. It's more what's inside.

If you grew up in a household with a football coach who looks like a drill sergeant, you would think you would be tough.

I've always been a Packer, always will be a Packer.

If I'm going to play, it's going to be 100-percent commitment.

The soul answers never by words, but by the thing itself that is inquired after.

It would be no loss to the world if most of the writers now writing had been strangled at birth.

The presence of death annihilates all superstitions. We are the children of death, and it is death that rescues us from the deceptions of life. In the midst of life he calls us and summons us to him.

I always use familiarity in my music, whether it's in my song writing or whatever.
