You have Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan... and Mario Lemieux. He's the best in hockey, in my opinion.

There is nothing illegal in keeping up a tomb; on the contrary, it is a very laudable thing to do.

I feel my arm's gotten stronger, I've been more accurate with it, and I've just got to keep that going.

I don't feel old. Okay, maybe I do when I get in a conversation with Earl Thomas, who was born in 1989.

We've got a lot of potential on offense. But really potential doesn't mean much if you don't realize it.

I've worked with Tom House and Adam Dedeaux, and both of those guys helped me out just pure mechanically.

I have had struggles throughout my life and am so thankful to have Jesus Christ to turn everything over to.

I want people to say when No. 9 was out on the field, he did everything humanly possible to win a ballgame.

There's a lot of good people here in Cincinnati, and there are a lot of people that are willing to help others.

My focus is on always trying to treat the inevitable highs and lows of life with the same blissful, calm energy.

When you get frustrated you try to do too much, you try to make stuff up that's not there, and you play outside yourself.

The quarterback is the leader of the team and the quarterback is the one that has the ball in his hands every single play.

Let the doubters talk as much as they want. I know my game, and I know I'm helping my team win games. That's all that matters.

I see how loving my parents are toward each other, toward my family and toward me. And that's just a glimpse of Jesus' love for us.

Pilates works all the small muscles in your body and there's so much core that comes with it - and core is so important for a quarterback.

There's been a lot of good people in Cincinnati who have pushed me, my wife and my family to be better people, and we're grateful for that.

God is in control. When I turn my pain, sadness and stresses over to Him, instead of worrying about them, I find I live a much happier life.

I think the coaching and the emphasis being put on different aspects of the game is what makes Texas high school football the best out there.

My job as a leader is not to say, 'Hey, look at me. I'm a leader.' It's to lead. I mean, I've got to go out and find ways to win these games.

People can hide behind a computer, they can hide behind a cell phone, they can tweet. They can say whatever they want. I'm not worried about them.

One of those professional drivers hit one of those blockade barriers. It was the first car accident I have ever been in, so I was a little startled.

I've never believed anyone could put more pressure on me than I put on myself. People expect great things from me. I expect great things from myself.

The sense of urgency is real for me, because the window of opportunity is closing. Gotta get back to the Super Bowl, gotta get back there and win it.

I'm going to go out there and work hard. I'm going to get better, I'm going to learn from my mistakes and I'm going to be there when my team needs me.

I hear it all the time. Walking through an airport or something like that, I still get a random, 'Hey, I'm a Bills fan. Appreciate ya!' Stuff like that.

There's lots of opportunities out there in life, but if you never put yourself out on a limb and take chances you'll never dare to be great at anything.

God has given me so many things along the way - a lot of stuff that I had no control over. God's had his hand in everything I've been able to accomplish.

It's hard to do, but you've got to be able to get your team going and prepare each week and go out and play your best and hopefully it shows in the game.

I usually find a couple of guys in the offseason to watch - their clips, their games and see how they play. Aaron Rodgers is one. I try to watch Drew Brees.

I've learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over.

Some of the best quarterback play is when you're able to move in the pocket and still make throws down the field because it's not going to be clean every time.

There's going to be good plays that happen and bad plays that happen, but at the end of the day, when you have the chance to hit a big play, you have to hit it.

I really believe the only thing you can control in those situations is what you do as a player but also how you interact with your teammates, which is critical.

If I'm out somewhere to eat and people yell, 'Hey, Red Rifle!' I'm kind of like, 'Oh, come on!' I've learned to accept it because I know the name isn't going anywhere.

Growing up in Boston, I was always Matt, Son of Former New England Patriot Don. And then when my brother Tim was a senior in high school, I became Matt, Brother of Tim.

At the end of the day, the way I go about it is don't let somebody else's opinion of you define who you are. Don't let other people's thoughts or whatever it is be true.

Fundamentalism, in and of itself, is benign and can be personally beneficial, but the anger and prejudice generated by extreme beliefs can permanently damage your brain.

I'm not necessarily the guy that's going to get in your face and scream at you or anything like that. I'll say what I need to, but I like my actions to show what I'm about.

The only thing I want to be able to do is come in and learn the offense, go out there and compete, show what I am capable of doing and try to get better as a football player.

I'm not out trying to prove anything. All I'm trying to do is go out there and help my team any way I can to win. I don't get caught up in the individual stats or the awards.

I'm proud of where I come from. A lot of people leave Mississippi, and their claim to fame is somewhere else. But I have so many moral values that made me the person I am now.

Interceptions are gonna happen. You can't worry about that. 'I made a mistake? OK, I have to make up for it.' That's my attitude about it. If I worry about it, I've got no chance.

Consciousness is the ground of all being; everything is consciousness. Beyond that, definition is impossible because any way we may attempt to define it would limit consciousness.

We wanted to make sure that we were all-in, and we've been all-in on Cincinnati since we got here. I hope the people see that. I've received a lot of support throughout my years here.

Win games. Win games in the playoffs. Win the Super Bowl. That's what it comes down to. The ultimate goal is to start off by winning the division and go from there. Those are the big goals.

It's just fun to go out and compete. It doesn't matter what your record is or what the other team's record is. You're playing in an NFL game, and you are out there competing with great players.

The first thing we need to do is realize that some of our old beliefs are dysfunctional and no longer work, if indeed they ever did. If the desire to do that isn't there, there's nothing to do.

When I'm on the field, if something doesn't go exactly as it's planned, I'm going to say something before a coach is going to say something. I'm going to get to it quicker and try to get it corrected.

It's definitely hard when you're putting in the work and the guy who's starting isn't, especially if he's overhyped or you're not winning. I can't imagine how hard it would be to be that guy's backup.

The most rewarding thing for me is people coming up and thanking me for being a great character guy for their kids; for being a class act off the field. That is the kind of person I want to be. It's very fulfilling.
