LT was just a wilder person. I don't go that route no more.

I have a whole different type of lifestyle.

In football, you can always maim a person if you wanted to.

You can take a substance that works in your system, but then you take this over here that's not banned, and this over here that's not banned, but if you mix them together, you've got a banned substance in your system.

Taking them out of the picture, so to speak, what football really is, the savagery, the core root of football, it doesn't change. It really puts the real in football.

I like companies that try and break away from the norm.

You try to stay within the rules for the sake of the game, but you can always turn up the intensity.

Football is not part of that lifestyle anymore.

You can't tell them anything, but hopefully they will learn from the example and won't have to go through it.

Most of the games don't let you focus too much on the cheerleaders, but I've been watching these girls.

They would almost throw the cops in jail when they tried to arrest me.

And once you cross over into that world, no matter how strong you are, you have to pay the price.

I had everything working my way, strong as a bull. And still I ignored the rules of the game of life.

As players, we always have a way to get back at you.

Steroids are for guys who want to cheat opponents.

And I tell ya, when I sit in that sound booth and started reading the script and starting to get into the character, man, it's an easy jump for me, because I understand what it's all about.

People get hurt all the time in the game of football, it's part of what we do.

But every day I tell my story, and be comfortable with my story and be comfortable with what I've done, and what I did, and how I am today, it lessens the likelihood it will ever happen.

I don't live that life anymore, it's as simple as that.

If I'm going to break them, I'm going to break them both.

First of all, a player has to know what is banned and what is not banned.

I guess another message I'd like to say with this book is no matter how many times you fail... I failed a lot of times trying to get clean, and never thought I'd get to this point.

There were probably about five games in my career where everything was moving in slow motion and you could be out there all day, totally in the zone, and you don't even know where you are on the field, everything is just totally blocked out.

The NFL, and I've played a lot of years for them, and they have a lot of restrictions on their players, they have restrictions on their licensees, they have restrictions on everything.

LT was just a wilder person. I don't go that route no more.

I played one game, and one game played me.

If they play dirty, then you play dirty.

Hopefully the new breed of kids won't have to go through that hard lesson - my kids, my grandkids, my fans' kids, hopefully they won't have to go through it.

He's a cocky sumbitch. That's what makes him such a great player.

Well, actually, I do the voiceover for Quentin Sands.

We are kindred spirits, you and I... One day you will realize you don't have to fight your nature. You can live your life freely... I want to be there when that happens.

Being the object of Alfred Hitchcock's obsession was horrific, but while he ruined my career, he could never ruin my life.

Retire? I don't know what that word means. As long as a man is able to work and he's productive out there and he feels good - keep at it.

Your goal should be out of reach but not out of sight.

I am opposed to the accumulation of executive power anywhere.

Fatherhood, both times for me, was a choice.

I love competing.

Soon, the Obama presidency will end, and America will have the chance to turn in a new direction.

You can put me in the basement or the penthouse; it doesn't matter to me.

Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you and in the end you are sure to succeed.

A mule will labor ten years willingly and patiently for you, for the privilege of kicking you once.

A role model is a person whose roles can be modelled. If the roles you conceive and give birth to today cannot be adopted by anyone in your absence, you are no good model.

I could never gamble on stocks and shares because I saw my father get hurt that way - he lost quite a lot of money when the stock market collapsed in 2001.

Rural towns aren't always idyllic. It's easy to feel trapped and be aware of social hypocrisy.

Bias and prejudice are attitudes to be kept in hand, not attitudes to be avoided.

I never have really become accustomed to the 'John.' Nobody ever really calls me John... I've always been Duke or Marion or John Wayne. It's a name that goes well together, and it's like one word - John Wayne.

That's the challenging thing with TV; it's not the action scenes per se, and it's not the location scenes and the heavy dialog scenes, but the fact that there is just no let-up; there is no break.

I'm a very hyper person.

Each film is different. Time Code was very quick - a matter of months. Miss Julie has been on my shelf as a script for some seven or eight years. But then the shooting process was very quick - 16 days.
