You get into feeling like you are in a zone. You can't be stopped. It's a good feeling but it never lasts.
I know I've got to just keep throwing the ball. That's what I do best.
We've been blessed with four beautiful children. Michael, he doesn't have much of a problem anymore. He is high functional, probably because of early intervention.
It's nice to feel the fans are behind you. You shouldn't concern yourself with things like that - but it does matter.
I think positive. I always think we're going to score. Two minutes is a lot of time if you have timeouts and you're throwing every down. You have to make the right decisions. I've always had great receivers, which helps. It's not just me doing it.
It's real nice and exciting for me to break the records, but it's more exciting for me to be on a winning team.
We can change the lives of autistic children. We can make a difference. There are hundreds of families in Florida who can't afford the therapists.
I'm getting married because I'm in love with a girl and want to spend my life with her. You can't live your life doing what other people want you to or you'll be miserable. At some point you just have to be yourself.
I think I'm going to be around awhile.
I try to play my game and that's being emotional because I'm that kind of guy.
My parents would always say, 'It doesnt' matter if it's a guy picking up the garbage or the President of the United States, treat everybody as you would want to be treated.
You need to feel that the game is important to you. Lose that feeling and you lose your edge. There's no faking that kind of emotion. You can't invent the feeling. It's got to be natural, real.
I have always said that I want to finish my career with the Dolphins and this put me closer to that goal. I have been fortunate to break many personal records, but my overiding goal is to win a Super Bowl here in Miami.
I think it's more and more important to spend time with your children, because it seems to be harder and harder for them to succeed as their parents have succeeded.
