“I was blown away by the standing ovation. I've had tributes before, sure, but I don't retain that feeling, and I wasn't prepared for it on Tuesday. But maybe you shouldn't retain these things or you'd be on a permanent high.”

“I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong.”

“Because I was small, I was getting the hell kicked out of me playing football.”

“Do not fear what has blown up. If you must, fear the unexploded.”

“If who you were was entirely based upon the position you were in or the headlines you got in the newspaper, or you had essentially subcontracted out your self-worth to the judgments of others, then you're going to be like tumbleweed. You're going to be blown.”

“What is an adult? A child blown up by age.”
