It's a violent sport. It's meant to be that way.

This is football, man. We all sign up to get hit.

We all sign up where you might get hurt. That's what makes this league a little bit different than any other in professional sports.

Getting in field-goal range isn't that tough.

Hey, it's tough not to have a ton of admiration for the fans of Baltimore. And, for it me, it's because they are such a hard-working, blue-collar fan base that loves football.

You don't have a lot of transplants in Baltimore. And I think that makes sports mean more to the people who live there. It translates to the passion of the fans and how the stadium reacts on Sunday.

I'm not going to be 50 and playing. I hope I'm 40, but 50, no.

I think there is definitely a physical peak for people, and it's probably a little bit later than most people would believe.

As long as you keep your body healthy quarterback is a position where you should get better as you age.

Listen, winning the Super Bowl, winning the Super Bowl MVP doesn't make me as valuable as I am.

There's a lot of disappointment when you lose a playoff game.

When you are a player, you don't really understand the criticism when you feel like you played pretty well.

When you're a quarterback in this league, you're going to be talked about and it's going to be on a weekly basis.

If you want to have a Super Bowl, put a retractable dome on your stadium, then you can get one.

Winning the Super Bowl is the No. 1 priority.

In my mind, the speed of the game is mental.

If you let yourself believe that you are unsure about what you're doing, then the game is fast. But if you go out there and you're confident and have an idea of what you're supposed to do, then the game slows down for you.

Everyone knows quarterback is a position where it takes a while to really start playing well.

You can't be afraid to say, 'Coach, I don't understand.'

Each one is different; each season is different.

There are guys out there that have got to make a living on hating on somebody.

It's tough to maintain 15-play drives consistently and score points.

Listen, everybody likes the football their way.

I never actually thought about my delivery. I was always just throwing the ball.

I don't own an iPod.

I've always wanted to have a family of my own.

You can deal with a little pain. It's just about making sure you can throw the ball good enough to go out there and help your team.

I don't play this game to be average.

I play this game to be the best, and it doesn't matter what other people say, I think I'm pretty damn good.

I would like more people to think good things about me, but if they never do, they never do.

I want to go out and win football games, and I want the ball to be put in my hands.

I think audibles, the way people talk about it, it's overrated.

That's part of being a leader, being the guy that people look to and making everybody around you better.

I love the no-huddle.

I have the same routine every game day, when it comes to waking up and what I do at the hotel and stuff, but nothing crazy.

I'm the same as I am on the field as I am off the field. It's not an act. I can't be another person on the field as opposed to being off the field. I am on who I am off.

Joe Montana was my favorite. I just thought he was the best at the time. He wasn't playing too, too much when I got into high school or anything, but he was just a winning guy and he played very consistent football.

I try to throw a pretty catchable ball. I like to think I do.

I don't know what the fascination is with 'Jersey Shore,' the show. I grew up going to the Jersey Shore and I think it's an incredible place to vacation. The show, I think people like to see crazy TV, and that's what the fascination is.

The preseason games are always weird because you know you're not going to play a ton, but you have to get ready like it's a regular-season game. There can be pressure to go out there and do well.

I've been playing football for a long time and I love to play this game.

I never had a job. My first job was quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.

It's a crazy game. It's a game we all choose to play.

You want to go out there and you want to show up for your teammates every Sunday, and you do everything you can to make sure that happens.

I don't have that much interest in golf, to be honest with you. I like playing. It's fun. But after a while it gets boring.

You get a lot of money and you realize it's pretty cool.

What fun would it be if we were perfect in everything that we did? Football is not about that.

We don't always get our respect but you've got to deal with it and go out there every week and just win football games.

Anytime you have a child, it's one of your best days.

I still carry it with me that I'm a I-AA guy and I had to go down to the minor leagues in college football and prove who I was.
