Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

If something is said about the Raiders, I'm ready to go to war.

I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.

Everyday I walked on to the field I was the best center.

I was told in high school that the last game during your senior year stays with you forever, which is true.

When I hear anything derogatory towards the Raiders, I am definitely hurt.

You have to stay one level above everyone else.

It's not that difficult to win. It's more difficult to win consistently and stay on top.

I think the officials and NFL owners are playing to the type of game that people want to see.

If the entire team can feel the same way about these things, you can consistently remain a winner.

I think the tougher the challenge the better.

And as a true athlete, mistakes haunt you forever.

Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today.

I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well.

But now there are more concussions due to not being used to the hard hitting.

I work here at the Raiders. My position is basically what I make it.

I've been a Raider all my life.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

It was a very exciting time for me to play professional football, finally.

We have three tremendous tight ends in Christianson, Casper, and Chester.

We have always had great and loyal fans in Oakland.

The first game I played. We played against the Dallas Texans.

There is hard hitting, but the hitting is not nearly as hard as it used to be.

The NFL offensive blocking is played differently; they use their hands instead of their head and shoulders.

The plays I remember are the plays I made a mistake.

I have been a part of this development, so I am very proud of it.

Don't wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect.

Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted.

A negotiation is a strategic conflict.

Time is the scarcity, and it's the commodity we can't create any more of.

Saying ˜I'm sorry' is saying ˜I love you' with a wounded heart in one hand and your smothered pride in the other.

I owned the world that hour as I rode over it. free of the earth, free of the mountains, free of the clouds, but how inseparably I was bound to them.

I live for opening doors for the young generation of creators. If we do nothing else with our success, let's open up some doors.

Do we value privacy in any real way? Thinking about blogs, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace... all these suggest we value exposure rather more. And instead of challenging this transformation, as they are supposed to - certainly at the more thoughtful edges of the art - novelists are buying into it wholesale.

The over-representation of Wall Street banks in senior government positions sends a bad message. It tells people that one - and only one - point of view will dominate economic policymaking.

All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth.

The darker the character, the more interesting.

It is not surprising that most Pakistanis do not support America's bombardment of Afghanistan. The Afghans are neighbours on the brink of starvation and devastated by war. America has shown itself to be untrustworthy, a superpower that uses its values as a scabbard for its sword.

One of the things that's great about doing a show over and over again... is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time... to continue to mine the material and find new things.

I am very much afraid of definitions, and yet one is almost forced to make them. One must take care, too, not to be inhibited by them.

Our tears prepare the ground for our future growth.

I grew up in Manchester, and we were very poor. My father was a miner who joined the Navy during the war and developed a lung disease and had to have a lung removed.

The common people have no history: persecuted by the present, they cannot think of preserving the memory of the past.

I enjoy mixed audiences, not one particular group. Short, tall, scientists, Jews, gentiles, whatever, as long as they breathe and like to laugh.

We binge on instant knowledge, but we are learning the hazards, and readers are warier than they used to be of nanosecond-interpretations of Supreme Court decisions.

My agent sent me the script and I loved it. I wondered how they would turn me into a chimp. My agent said it would probably not entail to much time. Just some hair and make-up. I found out that it was not so simple.

Emerging from embattled and humble beginnings, the Jewish state has exceeded all expectations for its success and prosperity.

My job as an editor is to gently prod the attention of the audience to look at various parts of the frame. And that - I do that by manipulating how and where I cut and what succession of images I work with.
