What sets disciplined people apart? - The capacity to get past distractions. Focus on the task at hand.

If I have affected someone in a positive way, that means a lot to me.
Confidence is only born out of one thing demonstrated ability. It is not born of anything else. You cannot dream up confidence. You cannot fabricate it. You cannot wish it. You have to accomplish it.
You are what your record says you are.

I've had a long standing relationship with Gatorade, and they've been very, very good to me. And I believe in their products; I really do.
I love football; I enjoy it. That's why I've been in this game as many years as I have. I still like it. I get excited about it.
I don't think, I don't intend to make people miserable. I am demanding.
I have a lot of great friends in football. The game was great to me. And I've been able to do other things in television and enjoy that, meeting those people.
