I consider myself more of a loner now and I think when you get older, especially in this game, and just talking with other players who have come and gone, I see what they were...

It’s a difficult job to do, but that is why we do it. Only so many people can do it. But it, it enables you to… for a brief period of time to kind of...

Every day is not perfect.

Maybe I’m old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract.

I grew up a Saints fan, an hour from the Superdome.

I may be a successful football player, but I feel like such a failure.

I love doing what I do.

Just, you never know what the next day is going to bring. That goes for football, goes for off the field, and I gave up a long time ago trying to predict the future and...

I think my stubbornness, hardheadedness and stupidity is what has allowed me to play for 20 years.

Well I would say that we’re regular people first of all and we’re normal and it’s obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we’re not immune to...

In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice – either teams don’t want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can’t do it – for me,...

In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life.

I know I’m not doing myself any favors by continuing to play.

Nothing, for the most part, surprises me anymore.

I think every player should think that he’s a difference maker.

If I’m going to play, it’s going to be 100-percent commitment.

My wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she’s probably right, but it sure beats some of the things...

And having a strong family, you know we’ve lost some members of our family and had some setbacks, but I think a good family and kids all those things I thought at one time… you...

I think people have all faced decisions at times where you never know.

I really believe this team has a lot of potential – whether it’s this year or in years to come, I don’t know.

But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life…...

I’ve always been a Packer, always will be a Packer.

Obviously talent gets you to a certain point, but it’s what you do with it, how you handle.

Well even before she was diagnosed with the cancer, I would have said that she was a lot tougher than me and most guys would probably say that about their wives and it’s probably true...

I’m not perfect.

If I can change than anyone can change. I promise you that.

I really like all music, but mostly Country, older R&B, and the good classic rock.

There are those people who are in your corner no matter what, you can’t do any wrong, even when you do wrong. And then there are those people that no matter what you do they...

I’ve been pretty fortunate.

Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important.

You know, I’ve had my ups and downs.

Life deals you a lot lessons, some people learn from it, some people don’t.

The town, the team, it’s a family. That has helped. For some people who have had to deal with some of the problems I have had to deal with don’t have football as an out.

I’m proud of everything I’ve done.

In spite of reports about playing with various teams, I’m enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football.

It’s fun leading this offense. I don’t think we’ve hit our peak.

Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn’t have near the season I had the previous year....

I knew I needed surgery and I didn’t want to have it and I ended up having it.

You’re never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they’re in front of you.

Sure, sometimes guys pass you up in salary, and maybe it’s a lesser player, but it’s all based on what a team has as far as value in that person.

With each game I play, each season I play, everyone would agree with me, I’m running out of chances.

Even in past years, when I wasn’t in the Super Bowl, I wished I was.

My job is to throw passes and be a leader.

Initially, I know that I handled it worse than she did and I think partly because I’ve always been… every bit of adversity I’ve faced up until the last year and a half is adversity...

I can’t believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football ’cause half of those eight or nine years I don’t even remember.

I’m thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that, not only myself, but my...

As you get older, you look at things differently.

You’re only as good as your last pass.

I consider adversity being good sometimes, you know.

You know I used to listen to music a lot more.
