“I am a Christian guy. I've struggled with that; I have struggled with everything.”
“I'm on national TV in front of millions and I hate making mistakes.”
“The best thing you can say about any coach is his players play hard for him.”
“I just see too many people retire and say, 'I'm going to take off, travel, spend time with my family' and they are just miserable. They end up dying. People who work and stay active, and like what they are doing, live longer.”
“Lawsuits make you care. I think the PR makes you care. But personally, when I got out in 1983, do I think they cared about me? No.”
“You can't have 'yes' people around you.”
“I would start with the most important thing a quarterback has to be: poised. If you panic in that pocket, you are no good. I don't care what else is there; you have to be poised.”

“I'm always happy-go-lucky, and people look at me and find it shocking that I could be depressed.”
“I really started to forget things. That's why I quit reciting statistics: because I couldn't remember them exactly, and I stayed away from mentioning some players by name because I really wasn't sure, and I didn't want to make a mistake.”

“The memory loss made me jittery at times.”
“Everybody handles things differently.”
“I have always felt like a fish in water with football, Fox, speeches, riding horses, and raising cattle.”

“Forget politics and what their platforms were and everything, because you can take whoever you want to take, but the guy that I liked was Nixon... He was a smart man.”
“The First Amendment rights, everybody has them.”
“I have more of an identity with Cowher than I do Tomlin. I knew Cowher when he came over from Kansas City as a defensive coordinator, and his teams were tough. Tomlin came in from Minnesota, and I didn't know anything about him. So maybe it's unfair for me to make the comparison.”
“If you play in the NFL and start for 10 years, it's not good. It is not good.”
