Believe it and it will happen.
This is who I am. I'm not perfect. I don't want to try to be perfect.
The team that is the most focused and executes the best is the team that wins. That's usually the team that can handle the pressure of the situation.
You want to win and you want the [NFL] ring. But when you win and you get the ring, you never really wear it.
If you're not the one cooking, stay out of the way and compliment the chef.
I was scared every time I put on a uniform and stepped on the field. I’m scared every day I go into the studio and I come on stage because I fear that I will not live up to what is expected. I fear that somebody who spent a lot of money to come into our studio, to come to New York and they’ll walk away and go, ‘I could have stayed at home.’ I feared that as a player a fan would come to the stands and I wouldn’t perform well. Just the way I’m built. I’m more scared of failure than I am excited about the accolades that come with success.
That's one of the great things about Thanksgiving: Football's on!
I love solving problems. It makes me happy to juggle all the jobs I do-figuring out which team is supposed to win on Fox NFL Sunday; reacting off the cuff to Kelly [Ripa, on Live]; and now Good Morning America, trying to fit into that group. The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish.
I think this can be a championship team. But we do have to take it one game at a time. You can't look at the end of the road before you get the next foot in.
All camps are hard, that's what they're intended to be. They make you focus when you're tired, when you don't feel like doing things, and to see how long you can retain and pay attention.
German women love American men. That's why a lot of American servicemen go to Germany - and never come back.
My craziest ambition is to take John Madden's job and salary.
At the same time, it makes me feel like I have to prove myself to the new guys coming in as well as prove myself to the coaching staff, which is a good bit of motivation for me.
I'm not an adulterer. I'm not gay.
My ultimate goal is for that next generation coming up, who didn't see me play, go, 'Oh, he used to play football?'
Camp is always all business.
I started playing Madden back in 1993 because that was the first year I actually made it into the game and that was a big thrill. When you're in Madden, you've made it, baby.
We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football.
I have the best memories as a kid eating ice cream. It was a family tradition that I had with my father. It was nice.
My hobbies and leisure activities include cars and golf.
Memorizing a playbook is like memorizing a script. When they change the script at the last minute it's like changing a play in a game.
I definitely believe in marriage.
When it comes to the camera, I can do my thing. But I'm bashful.
Few people know that I grew up in Germany and that my family still lives there.
As the game gets bigger, it get bigger for the players.
