You need to feel that the game is important to you. Lose that feeling and you lose your edge. There's no faking that kind of emotion. You can't invent the feeling. It's got to be natural, real.

I know I've got to just keep throwing the ball. That's what I do best.

It's real nice and exciting for me to break the records, but it's more exciting for me to be on a winning team.

I throw better than anybody in college and I can throw with anybody in the pros. There, that's what I think.

I have always said that I want to finish my career with the Dolphins and this put me closer to that goal. I have been fortunate to break many personal records, but my overiding goal is to win a Super Bowl here in Miami.

I look at it this way. I'm not putting age limits on what I can do. As long as I can do the job to help the team win and feel like I'm playing at a high level, which I feel I can do for a long while, I'm going to play no matter what my age is.

I just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.

Obviously I'm not 21 anymore, but I think I can still throw with anybody.

There is no defense against a perfect pass. I can throw the perfect pass.

I've been a Dolphin for 17 years, and I'll be a Dolphin for the rest of my life. That will never change.

You can do more, you can always do more.

We've been blessed with four beautiful children. Michael, he doesn't have much of a problem anymore. He is high functional, probably because of early intervention.

Sure, the home-field is an advantage - but so is having a lot of talent.

We're not running the ball again until we get ahead. Shula was calling the plays, but I told them, 'I don't care what he calls. We're throwing every pass from now until we get the lead.' To Shula's credit, he always gave me that option.

I think it's more and more important to spend time with your children, because it seems to be harder and harder for them to succeed as their parents have succeeded.

Sometimes, I wish we were all amateurs again. I'd play for nothing. Ab-so-lute-ly free. But that's not the system.

You need to feel that the game is important to you. Lose that feeling and you lose your edge. There's no faking that kind of emotion. You can't invent the feeling. It's got to be natural, real.

I think I'm going to be around awhile.

If you ask any great player or great quarterback, there's a certain inner confidence that you're as good as anybody. But you can't say who is the absolute best. To be considered is special in itself.

I think positive. I always think we're going to score. Two minutes is a lot of time if you have timeouts and you're throwing every down. You have to make the right decisions. I've always had great receivers, which helps. It's not just me doing it.

I don't need to be motivated by anybody. Never have.

I'm getting married because I'm in love with a girl and want to spend my life with her. You can't live your life doing what other people want you to or you'll be miserable. At some point you just have to be yourself.

I try to play my game and that's being emotional because I'm that kind of guy.

It's nice to feel the fans are behind you. You shouldn't concern yourself with things like that - but it does matter.

We were talking about how old quarterbacks can't throw before 10 am... Practice starts too early for us. Wake me up in the middle of the night and I can throw. I can throw anytime.

My parents would always say, 'It doesnt' matter if it's a guy picking up the garbage or the President of the United States, treat everybody as you would want to be treated.

My father always taught me to appreciate what you're fortunate to have and give back to those who need it. No part of our society is more important than the children, especially the ones who need our help.

I think I have a passion for playing the game. I love to play, and I want to play at a high level. You have to do the right things in order to continue at that level.

I want to know what it's like to play in a Super Bowl and win one. My career will be great without it. But, personally, selfishly, I want to know what it feels like.

As a team, you need to come from behind every once in awhile just to do it. Good for the attitude. It makes it exciting. And when everybody knows you have to throw it... that makes it fun too.

The experience of life consists of the experience which the spirit has of itself in matter and as matter, in mind and as mind, in emotion, as emotion, etc.

I think it would have been a lot better for him to say, I did it and I'm sorry, McGwire was never one to show a lot of emotion on the field, not a player who sought attention and craved to be thought of as a nice guy.

In fact, words are well adapted for description and the arousing of emotion, but for many kinds of precise thought other symbols are much better.

To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life.

A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.

I think we actually punish children out of their relationship with their bodies... we categorically separate mind and body and emotion and intellect.

And if thought and emotion can persist in this way so long after the brain that sent them forth has crumpled into dust, how vitally important it must be to control their very birth in the heart, and guard them with the keenest possible restraint.

My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.

People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.

I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, that's cool. Let's look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand.

I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.

I tried to have more than one emotion on the record.

I have lived too completely, I think. I have known every human emotion.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.

It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.

I will try to account for the degree of my aesthetic emotion. That, I conceive, is the function of the critic.

I'm singing what I want to sing based on the emotion of what that day feels like. That's what comes out of my mouth and guitar. That impacts people. They know anything can happen.

Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it, for, with the banishment of night from the experience of man, there vanishes as well a religious emotion, a poetic mood, which gives depth to the adventure of humanity.
