I'm a very sensitive person. I do like to be respected. I'm very loyal. I like it to be a two-way street.
I set my standards so high, no one could be harsher on me than I was.
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.
Lacrosse is probably the best sport I ever played.
Teammates are there for each other even after the noise of the crowd is gone.
I don't deal in frustration. I'm a fighter. And everything I've ever gotten, I've had to fight for.
Make sure when anyone tackles you he remembers how much it hurts.
Showing weakness will encourage your opponents. It inspires them. It encourages them to hit harder. To come faster. But when you don't show any fear, or when you don't show any hurt, you have the opportunity to discourage your opponent. You discourage your enemies. The bottom line is, if you think properly, you don't even have to think about all of that. All you have to think about is that guy across from me is human, and so am I. And he'll never out-work me. He'll never out-think me. And if you can't out-work me, and you can't out-think me, you'll never beat me.
I'm not interested in trying to work on people's perceptions. I am who I am, and if you don't take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.
Success is not only for the elite. Success is there for those who want it, plan for it, and take action to achieve it.
Don't ask me to compare myself to a half-a-season guy who didn't have to play in the snow or with blood in his nose or every third-and-1. Bo Jackson is a very fortunate person.
That is real important because it is relatively expensive to operate transit so we need to be sure we are balancing the available funding with a real need for service.
It's impossible to tell until they come in.
All Phil has to do is really work with them. Phil has the power to be with the Browns for many years. It's in his hands.
