A person that says, 'Losing is not difficult,' I don't even want to be around that person. And obviously, that person has never won anything relevant in their life.
It's no secret that I am not afraid to shine bright and be festive, and I like to encourage that in others.
I see the light at the end of the tunnel, so I'm going hard.
When people see you do alright, then you start winning their hearts. It's not going to come easy, though. It doesn't matter how many people you do right, you're still going to be hated by so many others. You can't live your life trying to make everybody happy.
Not to sound arrogant, but what I did in one year, others couldn't do in their entire collegiate careers.
You don't go into the game to compete. You go into each game to win.
You cannot make progress with excuses.
Control what you can control. Don't lose sleep worrying about things that you don't have control over because, at the end of the day, you still won't have any control over them.
Winning is contagious, you know its a thought. It's not something that just happens on Sundays. You know that's something, like you have to live like a winner. You have to think like a winner. You have to eat like a winner. Everything that you do with life, you gotta be a winner.
Playing this game, you cannot have nothing holding you back. If you're thinking, you're wrong automatically.
You know, I'm an African-American quarterback. That may scare a lot of people because they - they haven't seen nothing that they can compare me to.
My place of refuge is definitely watching movies and playing video games. I know that's kind of hard to fathom.
The thing that makes the great players great, and that separates players from different players is, when you going out there whether being prepared or not, you have to react. And if you're thinking, you're already a step behind.
One day I hope to open my own day-care center. My passion for kids is through the roof.
