In football, it's the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen.

Sportsmanship is making sure you have respect for the guy you're playing across from.

It was about being wanted, it was about winning, and it was about my passion for the game. I just loved it. I absolutely loved to compete and to step out onto that football field with my teammates.

My legacy isn't about what I did playing football, but how I use the opportunities that came from playing football.

Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler and I used to argue for hours about who the best athletes are. I thought football players were better overall.

Even though my mother had told me growing up that, 'If you win, nobody cares what color you are,' that wasn't necessarily true in the N.F.L.

Throughout my career, I was never able to relax; I always had to go on the field with another responsibility. I felt like I was playing, not just for my team, but for my race.

To me, being in your prime means playing your best and feeling your best, too.

Quarterback is not a position that you come in having not played it your whole life.

I love basketball players for what they do for their size - so graceful.

I'm about a 160, 170 bowler so I feel like I'm pretty good - I'm average, but I don't stink, you know?

I feel a resurgence of my 6-year-old self… that little warrior, goddess of a girl reminding me of who I was when I was little, before the world got its hands on me.

That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt.

Being FEARLESS isn't being 100% Not FEARFUL, it's being terrified but you jump anyway...

Corn ethanol can help in the short term, but it has serious limitations, and none of this is going to work if we don't dramatically improve the efficiency of our cars and trucks.

Nothing matters as long as you are kind and authentic. If you are, then you did your best, and that is all you can do.

An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.

A personality for the incredibly beautiful can be a pointless cargo.

If people don't like the history, I'm sorry.

As we rise to meet the challenges that are a natural part of living, we awaken to our many undiscovered gifts, to our inner power and our purpose.

I avoid long layoffs and I try to stay in shape at all times.
