“I worked for twenty-some years with no capital, so I never had any liquidity. Managing my loans alone wouldn't do it, and working hard twenty-four hours a day seven days a week alone wouldn't do it. You have to be properly capitalized.”

“If you're going to have a satisfactory standard of living, you're going to have to be competitive in this world. And you can't be competitive if you don't have a good education.”

“We want people that fit in our locker room. As I said, it's all about teamwork.”

“Unfortunately, when we had a No. 1 draft pick, there wasn't an Andrew Luck out there. A lot of that's pure luck.”

“We protected Andre Johnson, given him long-term contracts. Brian Cushing's got a long-term contract. Arian Foster. So certain key players, core players, we've tried not to tie them up for a long period of time.”

“The team comes first. We want to keep all of our players. We want to take care of all of our players, but the team comes first.”

“I'm not ill. I'm healthy. I'm not going anywhere. We've got Super Bowls to win.”

“We're about winning and accountability.”

“The radiation was worse by far. I had bandages all over my head. I looked like a mummy. On the side of my head and neck and down to my collarbone, I had second-degree burns. My skin blistered and peeled before it grew back. That was the worst part of it.”

“I thought I was in a better position to get a team than anyone else in Houston.”

“We don't like to acknowledge that we're getting older. None of us do.”

“Sometimes, in order to be successful, a business must reset.”

“The franchise tag is worth something to the team, and you can't be afraid to use it.”

“Now, would we like to have that super quarterback? Absolutely. And if we have the opportunity to get that person or develop that person, that's what we'll do.”
