Both of my sons used to coach high school football. When they started, I'd say things I shouldn't have. So I learned my lesson.

I don't think any of my teachers know much about football. Pretty much every teacher I have is foreign, and UCLA's a brilliant mix of minds from all over the world.

Football is a great environment for a movie because there is such passion for it and so much adrenaline.

In football, I need full concentration even though I really enjoy it.

I've just been playing football for a long time. I've been playing football since I was a little kid, so it's just some natural blessings that God has blessed me with to get to the ball and understand what I've been doing over the years.

You walk into a room and there's already judgment. You know, like football players can't act or you're going to come in and be stiff.

I am more mature now and know how to deal with certain situations in football. It's not all about highs; there are also lows, but I can deal with it. Football is a hard business.

It was nice to finish up Stanford. I think I always felt that I would be there for four years and graduate, and definitely didn't want to leave early. A degree was definitely a plus, and I was having a lot of fun in school. But after football, you know, I don't know. I really did enjoy studying architecture; it was a blast.

I don't know what I would have done had I not become a footballer. I've always wanted to do that, even when my family would try to stop me playing football so that I went to school.

A football player at any level must set goals.

Football has always been a big part of my life. Almost from the day I was born, playing and coaching football were all I really ever wanted to do.

It's not about tippy-tappy, namby-pamby football. It's a battle, and we have to be ready for it.

I like making movies and would like to make it my career when I'm finished playing football.

I have friends in other industries but if I am training for a wrestling match, I would turn to the best wrestler to train, not a football player.

I talked to a few schools about playing football, but I had already pretty much made my mind up. I fell in love with baseball at a young age, and I knew that that's what I wanted to do.

Every footballer wants to be in a starting position on the pitch.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be in a warm office every day. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining because I know how lucky I am to be playing football for a living. The positives by far outweigh the negatives.

With football, you can never predict what's going to happen.

In the media, I always seemed to come across as someone who was poking fun at the Scots and their football. I guess the Scottish public needed someone to blame for their international defeats, and I fitted the bill perfectly.

I don't like going to football games. I like watching them on television. When you go to a game, it's hard to focus. There's so much going on, and it's cold. I'd rather sit and watch it and get replays and commentary.
