By making yourself better, that's how you make your team better.
I set pretty high expectations for myself,and I hold myself to a pretty high standard.
I think of the important things: how to prepare, how to practice, how to prepare to practice.
That's been the dream since you were a little kid growing up. You want to be the guy playing in the Super Bowl. It's what you live for, really.
I think everything that happens, happens for a reason.
You never know when your time is going to come, if it's going to come, so when it does, you have to take advantage of it.
Just like my agent had told me, Tom Brady is a really cool, down to earth guy.
I like to think I'm pretty close in comparison to Aaron Rodgers. He's very athletic and gets the ball out quickly. He's very knowledgeable of the game, controls the offense totally, and that's something I try to do. Just know the offense inside and out.
It's one of those things: you can't really control how much you play or when you play, but when your number's called, I think if you make the most of your opportunities in this league, that's what makes good players. That's what I've tried to do in my short time being a starter, and good things have come from it.
Stay single as long as you can - you'll be married the rest of your life.
You try to say every week that you're facing a faceless opponent. No matter who it is, you want to have the same mindset, no matter what type of game it is - first game of the season, last game of the season.
There's different ways to win in this league. It's not always going to be pretty.
I think there's a special relationship between the center and quarterback.
You don't want to come in and be phony and be someone you're not.
There's not much simplifying. You gotta know what you gotta know. That's how the quarterback position is, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
You see guys in the NFL when you're younger, and you try to model your game after that.
I started playing quarterback my junior year of high school.
That's why we all play the game. You want to be a player; you want to be out there to play.
You can always play better.
Football, at the end of the day, is a little kids' game that grown men get to play. I'm just privileged to get to do that every day.
