We're still as confident, as optimistic as we ever were. You know we hit a little stumbling block here, but I think it's going to be good for us because we can learn from it.

I'm not an athlete; I'm a quarterback. I don't have great speed, and I can't throw 90 yards down the field. I win games because I've done the mental preparation.

That's what being a leader is all about. If the other players see you in a non-positive mind set, that affects them. I have to present an air of confidence at all times.

The biggest thing is not to lose your confidence and realize you've got to work through those mistakes to yourself a chance to improve.

Winning is about believing you're never out of a game. I've always believed that.

I'm lucky - we're all lucky - to be playing a game for a living.

What I try to do is create an energy, create an excitement, but at the same time keep everybody focused and realize it's still just a game, that we have to move the football.

Football is what I love, and I know I can do it, too.

To me, I'm still a 24-year-old kid who just happens to have a better paying job than other kids my age.

We should always respect our teachers, because transforming children into knowledge-oriented young people is a precious and extremely difficult job.

It is not the fame, not the flesh, not the money. We want something else, something pretty.

[mother] belonged to a realm of other creatures: smaller, lighter, more easily blown away.

The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.

We like to think that our parents made a decision to bring us into the world.

I feel like I've gotten to a point where I don't know if it can get much bigger. I've been climbing and I feel very happy.

A player who makes a team great is better than a great player.

Style applies to a lifestyle. It's not about being told this is trendy, you must do it. Now people have more access than ever before.

I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.

Take all the swift advantage of the hours.
