I had a choice to be lazy or lean - if I hadn't changed, thing probably would catch up with me.

If you truly believe something, and it's incorrect, that doesn't mean you don't have integrity.

I loved the game. We played because we loved it.

When you have a problem, rules don't solve your problem. It's caring and education.

I don't teach kids to be number 1. Organizations and people that tell you you have to be number 1; that's not it. You don't have to be number 1. What I teach is to be as good as you can be. Use what you have and be as good as you can be. That's all you can do, anyway.

Make sure when anyone tackles you he remembers how much it hurts.

The social issues outside of football are not as defined as they were earlier, when integration took place and certain rights were legislated. The Civil Rights movement is over. Individuals can buy homes wherever they want, travel first class wherever they want, eat wherever they want.
