Where I came from, sports were the only way to get out front.

If you're on a bus and going down a snowy mountain like in Tahoe, and the bus loses its brakes, where do you want to be sitting? Immediately, you all think, 'In the back.' But in the front would be the correct answer. As a quarterback, you want to take control of it.

Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.

But the path you end up on means that you have to close a lot of doors, too.

I don't have to put on a front. If I had to, it would be difficult and tiring.

If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

There are several paths one can take, but not every path is open to you.

If you can't go one way, there's many ways to get where you're going. So you just take a step back and see beyond the wall.

I don't believe in this business of being behind, better to be in front.

The straight path is not one that is reserved for a few. This should be taken by more of us.
