I like to be try to be a mentor to some of the younger quarterbacks in the NFL.

I think in a lot of ways, I handle the leadership role a little different than others. I'm not going to rah-rah or slap you across the helmet or push you. I'm going to talk to you.

Staying healthy is very key in this league.

The team only goes as far as their quarterback takes them.

There was never any animosity from the Philly fans.

I have nothing but love for the Philly fans, even the ones who were highly criticizing me or opinionated in any way.

Dan Marino never won the big game. Does that mean his career is a failure? No, not at all.

I think you get in a situation where once you start hearing the boos and hearing the radio stations talk and people on the outside begin to bring your name up of being benched, then you begin to lose focus, and now your play begins to fall and you begin to focus on other things.

You have to focus on your job, and if you focus on your job, you block everything out.

I believe in second chances and I have strong faith in God that he forgives our sins.

I've always believed in finishing where you started. I think there's a lot to be said with that.

I've learned since childhood that you control only the things that you can control. Everything else, let it take care of itself.

As a quarterback your job is to drop back and give it to the open receiver, let them run. Obviously, there are times when you get some pressure and you have to make decisions, step up in the pocket and buy time for your receivers and deliver the ball.

I'm from Chicago, and I loved the Bears.

That's the NFL: Not For Long. First year's a welcome year. Second it's, What are you going to do? Third year's like, Well, you didn't do much last year; give us something or you're going. That's the way it is. They'll trade you or they'll cut you.

When you're the older guy, everybody talks about you. When you win, everybody talks about you. When you lose, everybody talks about you.

I'm an entertainer.

I'm an entertainer.

I'm not Superman.

I've always been uncomfortable, so to speak, when the focus is on me.

Any player that says they don't want to go to an All-Star Game is lying to you. It's something everyone wants to be a part of.

Kids are our future.

I don't really see myself getting a Twitter account. Nothing against it. I get it. I especially get it for businesses.

I've never been an actor on Broadway, but it feels like you're on a stage when you play at Yankee Stadium. And that's the feeling I've always had.
