Listen, everybody likes the football their way.
I never actually thought about my delivery. I was always just throwing the ball.
I don't own an iPod.
I've always wanted to have a family of my own.
You can deal with a little pain. It's just about making sure you can throw the ball good enough to go out there and help your team.
I don't play this game to be average.
I play this game to be the best, and it doesn't matter what other people say, I think I'm pretty damn good.
I would like more people to think good things about me, but if they never do, they never do.
I want to go out and win football games, and I want the ball to be put in my hands.
I think audibles, the way people talk about it, it's overrated.
That's part of being a leader, being the guy that people look to and making everybody around you better.
I love the no-huddle.
I have the same routine every game day, when it comes to waking up and what I do at the hotel and stuff, but nothing crazy.
I'm the same as I am on the field as I am off the field. It's not an act. I can't be another person on the field as opposed to being off the field. I am on who I am off.
Joe Montana was my favorite. I just thought he was the best at the time. He wasn't playing too, too much when I got into high school or anything, but he was just a winning guy and he played very consistent football.
I try to throw a pretty catchable ball. I like to think I do.
I don't know what the fascination is with 'Jersey Shore,' the show. I grew up going to the Jersey Shore and I think it's an incredible place to vacation. The show, I think people like to see crazy TV, and that's what the fascination is.
The preseason games are always weird because you know you're not going to play a ton, but you have to get ready like it's a regular-season game. There can be pressure to go out there and do well.
I've been playing football for a long time and I love to play this game.
We tend to just think about how hard it is to never have thrown to a guy. That is true, every guy has their own way of doing things and you build a rapport with guys throughout the course of the year and throughout practice and all of that.
I never had a job. My first job was quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.
It's a crazy game. It's a game we all choose to play.
You want to go out there and you want to show up for your teammates every Sunday, and you do everything you can to make sure that happens.
I don't have that much interest in golf, to be honest with you. I like playing. It's fun. But after a while it gets boring.
I'm going to try to get my kid involved in golf and maybe try to get my kid to try to qualify for the PGA Tour. That's my dream.
You get a lot of money and you realize it's pretty cool.
What fun would it be if we were perfect in everything that we did? Football is not about that.
We don't always get our respect but you've got to deal with it and go out there every week and just win football games.
I think as a play-caller, you have to just go out there, rely on your guys that you have that are out there, rely on the fact that they have ability. And as a quarterback, you have to go out there and just go through your reads.
Anytime you have a child, it's one of your best days.
I still carry it with me that I'm a I-AA guy and I had to go down to the minor leagues in college football and prove who I was.
Any time you can get a win against a good football team with not a lot of guys healthy, it's a big week for us.
There's always that training camp feeling that comes back to you when you're getting ready to go.
What motivates me is being the best quarterback in the world.
The bottom line is you have to win the big game, and that's the Super Bowl.
You can't play to not lose.
In the regular season you always say, 'Take it one game at a time.' But the playoffs, they kind of make you do that.
When I'm not playing football Sundays, I get pretty bored. When I don't have that, it's kind of tough to get by.
With Tom Brady, quarterbacks are playing now until they're about 60 years old.
I want to play as long as I can.
The most important thing is win enough games to get into the playoffs. Then, once you get into the playoffs, win.
I assume everybody thinks they're a top-five quarterback. I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'd be very successful at my job if I didn't feel that way.
I feel like, as long as you truly are a good player, then you can't go out and have a bad season.
What I choose to do reflects who I am.
I definitely have a chip on my shoulder after having transfered to Division I-AA.
We used to listen to a lot of AC/DC before games to get fired up. 'TNT,' 'Thunderstruck,' all that stuff. It really gets you pumped.
I do know that you'll definitely never see me sporting a mustache.
You pick guys in the first round - whenever you pick guys - you pick them for a reason.
Nothing is every promised to us, man.
