“Pressure is something you feel when you don't know what the hell you're doing.”

“The Super Bowl is a dream come true for every player.”

“Winning is a mind-set. And I don't know that it's ever acquired. I believe you're born with it.”

“I don't want to be a hero, I just want to be myself.”

“You can't be afraid to make a mistake. You have to be willing to take chances.”

“Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts.”

“There's an old saying: 'That's why you play the game.'”

“I don't live in the past. I don't think about it.”

“The key to performing well under pressure is to practice and prepare.”

“You know, I've had a lot of injuries, but I've been playing with injuries since I was a kid. That's just part of the game.”

“As a quarterback, you have to be able to lead and inspire your teammates.”

“Some guys have a knack for getting open and some don't, and you can't teach it.”

“You've got to be a little bit crazy to be a quarterback.”

“The perfect pass is the one that's caught.”

“I think the thing about that was I was always willing to listen to anybody's ideas.”

“I always thought I could play, but I was not sure I could be a starter in the NFL.”
