It doesn't matter what cards you're dealt. It's what you do with those cards. Never complain. Just keep pushing forward. Find a positive in anything and just fight for it.
Family first, always, no matter what the situation.
I've learned I can't change every opinion or have everyone's approval. If I get caught up in that, I'm worried about the wrong things.
Life is a bunch of ups and downs. It's how you handle it.
You don't build a great castle just all at once.
Everywhere I look, someone is telling me, 'You're not good enough,' or, 'You can't do this or that.' You can only hear that so many times before enough is enough.
I was the undersized underdog who people never gave a chance. From that, the motivation to prove people wrong just grew and grew... Looking back now, I'm glad I didn't hit puberty until later.
You come to Oklahoma to beat Texas. I was born and raised in Austin. They didn't recruit me. I grew up 15 miles from their campus. I can't stand them.
If you can win ballgames, you can win ballgames.
Everybody wants to portray the bad boy, the Johnny Manziel stuff, but I love the game of football. There's no doubt about that.
I set the bar high, and I'll do anything, whatever it takes to win. I care more about this game than most people ever will. When you mix a lot of those things with a winning mentality, it's a good thing to have as a franchise quarterback.
Cleveland, as a whole, is a great sports town. People love the Browns here.
There are spots that I have to hit. Throws I can't miss.
I say it all the time: Texas high school football. It's no joke. It's a big deal. And when you get good coaches like I had at Lake Travis, and then you play other good programs, it develops you very quickly, and it gets you going.
I'm ready for any adversity that's going to hit.
Always have self-confidence because that can take you a long way.
If you can grab a ball and throw it, you can grab a ball and throw it. I don't care how tall you are, either. I'm not gonna see over a 6-foot-7 left tackle. You've gotta find lanes; you've gotta know where your guys are. It's not about the height: if you can win ball games, you can win 'em.
I've set up my goals, and I go after them, and if I do that each day, the rest will take care of itself.
People will have their guesses and opinions on my character, but anyone that's actually sat down and talked to me knows that I don't have any character issues, any off-the-field issues.
Under pressure is something I thrive on.
