Two of the people I don't care about: fans or media.

People don't think I'm big enough to be mean. I don't look big enough, but I am.

You can call it ugly if you want, but I'd call it a win.

All I can do is go out there and play hard and try and help my team win, and that's what I'm going to keep doing.

I lead by example. But if I get pissed enough, I'll say something. It usually isn't rah-rah; it's more complaining.

How great a life is this? To get to knock guys' heads off for 60 minutes and not get thrown in jail?

My mom is my heart. But my [step]dad was my role model, the hardest working man I ever knew.

I love football in the rain. That is what it's all about.

You want to be the best at your position. And if people think of me as one of the best ever, that's the ultimate compliment.

Books may not judge you, but people do.

It's ever so important to believe in what you do, trust your ability to create and show yourself worthy. Never sell yourself short.

Where's your sense of misadventure?

I want to be able to live without a crowded calendar. I want to be able to read a book without feeling guilty or go to a concert when I like.

Our worst comes out when we behave like robots or professionals.

Who is going to cast out an error to which he has given birth and replace it with an adopted truth?

If the Ivy League was the breeding ground for the elites of the American Century, Stanford is the farm system for Silicon Valley.

Sometimes, the people we invest the most time in disappoint us the most.

I deal with guys in their 20s and early 30s who are presidents of companies, who are movie directors.
