What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.

Till I was 13, I thought my name was "Shut Up."

First, I prepare. Then I have faith.

When you win, nothing hurts.

To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going.

I think that at some point in your life you realize you don't have to worry if you do everything you're supposed to do right. Or if not right, if you do it the best you can... what can worry do for you? You are already doing the best you can.

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.

When we won the league championship, all the married guys on the club had to thank their wives for putting up with all the stress and strain all season. I had to thank all the single broads in New York.

We're going to win Sunday. I guarantee it.

If you aren't going all the way, why go at all?

You learn how to be a gracious winner and an outstanding loser.

When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.

As a football coach, everything in your life comes after your football schedule. I just could not make that commitment.

How you recover from what life's throwing at you is what matters.

I am a football fan, yeah.

I believe in letting a guy live the way he wants to if he doesn't hurt anyone.

I can't compare family to athletics.

I couldn't do anything I didn't enjoy.

I deal with football from a realistic, logical point of view.

I don't care what a man is as long as he treats me right. He can be a gambler, a hustler, someone everybody else thinks is obnoxious, I don't care so long as he's straight with me and our dealings are fair.

I don't like to date so much as I just like to kind of, you know, run into somethin', man.

I don't think that I've ever been a backup.

I have to convince myself I know what I'm doing.

I like music and I like ladies. I like to see them dance.

I should have been thinking more about my family, how I raised my children, how I maintained life's work, so to speak.

I think I could have become an outstanding professional baseball player, but I don't think I could have reached the heights that I have in football - being one of the very top players in the game, being a world champion.

I think there's always going to be a problem dealing with firearms, with knives. It's the animal we are that cause the problems.

I took my time to find the perfect girl.

I was a very naive young man, and I may still be ignorant about a lot of things.

I was a workhorse; there was never a practice that I didn't enjoy.

I was born with the gift.

I was focused on athletics, outdoors, sports.

I was lucky enough when it came to sports and work ethic to be taught some basics that continue to be important.

I'd rather go to Vietnam than get married.

I'm always gonna be Joe Namath, and I'm not running from that.

I'm lucky.

I've always said I'm going to get married only once.

I've been some through some things medically. I've seen some things on my brain. But I've had some treatment - and I've improved.

I've figured out that life in general is a team effort; it's a team game.

I've tested life and I've learned what works for me.

It feels bad to feel like you're not wanted.

Johnny Unitas was my hero.

My ego's not the kind that says, 'I want to be an actor and be accepted as that.'

My family's the most important thing in my life.

My philosophy in life, where I was trying to get, could have been a little bit different.

Of course, in pro ball, they never hit the quarterback in practice.

Pressure just makes you go a little more. I kind of like pressure.

Something's been guiding me around throughout my life.

There are some things you only learn through experience.
