I feel like I've always played within the rules. I would never do anything to break the rules. I believe in fair play.

You can't score if you're turning it over. It's like a punt. If you go out and you punt 12 times, you're not scoring points. That's not good. So, when you turn the ball over and throw interceptions, you're giving the other team more opportunities and your team less opportunities.

I was the kid that was the 199th pick that never had the body for it. People didn't think I'd play one year in the NFL, and now I'm going on my 17th year.

So many guys are so conservative with their hair, and I always joke with all my buddies when they mess with me, and I'll say, 'That's right, keep the same haircut for ten years.' How fun is that?

I like to have fun all the time, even if I'm working.

All I do is work out, oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating.

This is really a dream come true. To be the starting quarterback in the Super Bowl is probably the highlight of my life.

I don't believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

Everyone is different. Everyone has different teams they've played on, coaches they've played for.

For people who may think they know, or have snippets of who I am, you can attack that person. That's part of being a public figure.

There's not much time to unwind, but you know what, it's because I love what I do. I look forward to the season. I look forward to playing games. It doesn't ever feel like work.

If someone lies, well, you had a choice to trust that person or not. I think the way my father raised me, well, he trusted everybody. And that worked for him.

Maybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that's never been me.

Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.

I try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes -- my kids, high school kids -- get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.

When you hang with a bunch of 300-pound linemen, you tend to find the places that are the greasiest and serve the most food.

I think sometimes in life the biggest challenges end up being the best things that happen in your life.

Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don't get hit very often.

I've had just about everything punched. I've had things grabbed that just shouldn't be grapped.

When you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails is a task, let alone surfing the web.
