This is what makes sports so amazing, that we can start a discussion around a table, in the newspaper, in the magazines, that will get people's attention. And that's what sports does.

Control what you can control. Don't lose sleep worrying about things that you don't have control over because, at the end of the day, you still won't have any control over them.

You cannot make progress with excuses.

You don't go into the game to compete. You go into each game to win.

Not to sound arrogant, but what I did in one year, others couldn't do in their entire collegiate careers.

I see the light at the end of the tunnel, so I'm going hard.

I'm a living testimony that anything is possible.

I'm an example of why people deserve second chances.

A person that says, 'Losing is not difficult,' I don't even want to be around that person. And obviously, that person has never won anything relevant in their life.

It's no secret that I am not afraid to shine bright and be festive, and I like to encourage that in others.

I see myself not only as a football player, but an entertainer and icon.

Yes believe it or not all self-made millionaires have had to get their hands dirty at some point in their rags to riches story.

To yield to Resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and were born to be.

Sometimes a person has to go back really back-to have a sense an understanding of all that's gone to make them-before they can go forward.

I'm always happy when actors get rich, because the odds on it are so long!

I do not want actors and actresses to understand my plays. That is not necessary. If they will only pronounce the correct sounds I can guarantee the results.

A single line in the Bible has consoled me more than all the books I ever read besides.

Everyone knows about The Who, but I didn't. I knew the popular songs like "I Can See For Miles." So that was the first song I worked on because it was the catchiest and easiest.

I want to find a voracious, small-minded predator and name it after the IRS.

When anything huge happens to me, I always think, this isn't my moment, this is a moment.

Songwriting is the other weight on the opposite side of the scale from touring. They balance me out creatively.
