“The day you play football will be the last day you're pain-free. It's ...” — Jason Taylor Quote

The day you play football will be the last day you're pain-free. It's a physical game; you're going to be hurt. But being injured and hurt are two different things.

Football is going to end someday. You've got to do something afterwards. You don't have to, if you make the right decisions with your money. But I enjoy the whole fanfare of Sundays and entertaining people. And if someone sits here and says, 'You can be an actor,' I'm going to give it a shot.

You're in this game to win championships, you know? But I didn't earn it. We just didn't earn it. We had some pretty good teams a few years; it wasn't meant to be. It stinks, but it wasn't meant to be.

I studied a lot on how to get better angles to be able to play at a smaller size.

When I was in Spain, I found that tough because I was injured for a year. You cannot really go out on a weekend if you are injured because you are doing everything you can to get fit.

If you're injured, it changes the way you move. If you're injured, it changes the way you talk.

I don't turn down fights unless I'm injured. Never have. So it's a part of my makeup.

People don't understand how hard it is to be injured, not to be part of the team but to watch from the side.

I'm 43 years old and I've never been injured doing any of my arts.
