As a quarterback, you have to go out and take care of the ball. That is your No. 1 priority.

I care about winning ball games.

Pro Day was very important for me because that was really the only time that I had to prove that I could play at an NFL level and that was really through the physical drills they put me through which was running and throwing the ball. It turned out pretty well for me.

I can't understand for the life of me why people would cheer when somebody gets hurt. I guess that is the sick world that we are sometimes in.

It is always interesting to hear older players come back and talk.

Anytime you can get the ball in the receiver's hands with some space, you let their natural abilities take over.

As long as anybody plays this game, you never master it because there are so many things that are always changing.

I've played in a lot of different roles through the course of my career and I've been a starter for a lot of those years and the mentality can never change.

The hardest part sometimes is when you don't get the reps and you continue to push yourself to learn and understand what's really going on.

I don't want anybody else's life.

I've got a model wife.

I like my life just the way it is. And it's great.

I think I constantly refer back to some of the things that I learned in New England and throughout my career. It was a great stepping stone, and it also gave me time to mature as a player and as a quarterback.

There was a time when I thought, 'God, this whole football thing might not work out for me.'

Teams really take into account character.

I don't read the paper.

Kneeling for the anthem does nothing to advance solutions to racial injustice, police brutality, or any other social plight. It is a slap in the face to patriotism itself. It is a statement that America as a country is no longer worth standing for.

I'm a Christian, and I believe the Immaculate Conception was how Jesus was born.

A melting Arctic creates a more permissive environment for Russia and China to seize territory.

If players want to protest, let them do it on their own time and on their own dime.

The most valuable real estate in the world lies between the president's ears.

While the Washington swamp, which loves shipping American jobs offshore to make a buck or Euro, is already rising up against the proposed legislation, the USRTA is just plain common sense.

If we cared about safer streets, we'd build the wall and secure the border.

I don't even think the biggest divide is between Republicans and Democrats. I think it's between institutionalists and reformers.

I wish climate change wasn't real.

Holding Congressional hearings is the purview of the majority, and during the first years of the Obama administration, Democrats could not be bothered.

President Trump says his highest priority is America and the American people. The fact that this idea has been met with shock is itself shocking; if America's success is not the president's goal, what is? Is it looking good in photo-ops, while debt grows, jobs dwindle, bureaucracy reigns supreme, and the American people suffer?

I believe that the Left is trying to create a crisis on the border.

I strongly support the rights of transgender individuals. I will not denigrate or deny their struggles.

I would suggest that a Green Real Deal is something to be far more excited about than the Green New Deal because the Green New Deal will never happen.

I don't know why anyone would want businesses and families and individuals nationwide to suffer. But by voting against tax reform, Democrats showed that was exactly what they stand for: less money for families and more money into Washington, D.C.

History will judge harshly my Republican colleagues who deny the science of climate change. Similarly, those Democrats who would use climate change as a basis to regulate out of existence the American experience will face the harsh reality that their ideas will fail.

Democrats justify anything they do against Trump as being righteous, even if it's morally wrong or even if it's illegal, because they're so driven to stop Trump.

If we got more efficient with electric grid capacity, we would substantially reduce our carbon footprint, and people would be likely to copy us.

Unilaterally disarming the American economy through crushing regulations will empower Washington but few others.

You don't just get to show up in Washington and, because a terrible thing has happened to you, that you get to jump up and scream and yell.

The black market poses a greater risk to the integrity of sports than open, visible, and regulated betting.

Why should 'big sports' get tax breaks that businesses and families across America don't get?

Legalizing betting would create over a hundred thousand new jobs, over $6 billion in wages, and inject $25 billion into our economy.

People in the media grew up in the Northeast and can't comprehend the notion that there are people who like to go out to the clay pits and shoot and, afterward, go eat fried chicken.

I don't think anybody, regardless of tragic circumstances, can expect to come to a congressional hearing and take it over with a series of interruptions.

Bureaucrats lodged deep in agencies slow the impact of Trump's demands. Low-level staffers leak private meetings. The Department of Justice has gone rogue. The Swamp, it turns out, fights back.

We cannot live in a country where losing an election functions as de facto immunity deal.

Tax reform has been a congressional priority for decades. It should be a bipartisan issue. I don't know why anyone in Congress would want their constituents to pay more.

If Adam Schiff is able to review covert operations and intelligence, and if we have to be able to rely on his representations, our whole system is broken.

The new conservative movement has to take on Trump's sense of boldness.

No one wants to be the next Pete Rose.

Congress has broad powers to regulate and control commerce. Congress also cannot force a state to 'un-decriminalize' something; states' rights are routinely upheld by the Court.

I don't trust CNN anchors.

I do think that if you've got a compelling argument to make in this country, going on television, going online, being on social media, you've got a broader ability to be effective at communicating your message if you engage a wide span of platforms rather than just standing on the House floor in the middle of the night, speaking to an empty room.
