At least I'm going into the job with clean hands.

There are a lot more TV sets in use on Monday night than on Sunday afternoon.

Considering what Americans have been confronted with in the last ten years, domestically and internationally, it's clear that we need emotional outlets; we have to have some peace from our problems

But I haven't met a player or a coach whose goal isn't to win the Super Bowl.

Pro football was taking off when I became commissioner, and when a sport's successful and you're its chief executive officer, much of the credit flows to you and you develop a good track record.

Rather than saying that the commissioner is hired by the owners and therefore is subservient to them, you have to look at whether or not the players are getting a fair shake.

The most difficult owner for me was the late George Marshall of Washington.

In fact, an awful lot of N.F.L. club owners have practically no influence on their players at all, simply because they're not full-time working owners.

Memorizing and regurgitating are not science. Real science is a constant investigation of the unknown.

When your dream doesn't let you sleep even after 22 hours of waking up, it's worth chasing.

Sometimes you see auteur TV shows and movies, and those are great.

You don't choose your friends, they choose you, and you either reject them or you accept them without reservations.

Republicans have to finally get smart and come together.

I don't want to be left behind. In fact, I want to be here before the action starts.

We want to go in for suffering, and there may be torture. If we put the women in front the Government may hesitate to inflict on us all the penalty that they might otherwise inflict.

I hate those movies where hundreds of people get blown up and there are jokes afterward. They poison the soul.

My heart pounds sickeningly and I turn pale... I often feel as if I were dead... I seem to be losing my mind.

You can’t hate people unless you love them.
