KURT WARNER

I could see myself doing more color in the future - I love being able to analyze game by game and share the stories with the players.

I've always said, if everything was equal, from money to retirement to endorsement opportunities - all that stuff - if everything was equal, I'd play Arena football over the NFL. It was built for quarterbacks. It was just backyard football.

At the end of the day, it's not about starting a game in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl, or getting to the Hall of Fame. It's about representing yourself in a way that represents your faith.

I don't think there's any question that the Arena League allowed me to flourish. I played three years in a league where the quarterback wasn't supposed to be stopped. We never wanted to kick. When I went into the NFL, I had that same mentality.

I would love to be a creative offensive consultant where I could help design and help create plays and ways to attack other teams without having the coaching schedule.

You have to live life for today and for this moment.

My game is more a game of thinking than anything else.

I always felt like wherever I was, I'd be successful.

My brother was a Chargers fan, so we watched Dan Fouts a lot growing up.

I've had a great time making the transition from playing to talking about the game, and there is no better place to talk football than NFL Network.

The greatest impact you can have on people is never what you say but how you live... You set the standard with your actions. The words can come after.

When I played, I didn't have the strongest arm, and in a game, I never threw it as hard as I could, either.

I wanted my faith to look the same to everyone else and to be the same for me regardless of what was going on - whether I was on the Super Bowl podium holding the trophy or when I was being benched two years later and people saying that I would never play again.

My story is more real life than most. Most Hall of Famers have great careers before they get inducted. I'm not supposed to be part of this conversation.

Anytime you mention Jesus or faith, people are turned off. I think it scares a lot of people.

I believe that the only way to truly be fulfilled, the only way to truly be the person that God created us to be, is to live in our passion, is to do what we're passionate about. It changes everything about us.

One thing I know is if I have my best player, I'm not going to let another team take him out of the game so I can throw to somebody else. I'm going to find a way to get my best player involved so they can't take him away.

I look terrible in caps.

There's a compelling reason why I belong in the Hall of Fame, but I understand the argument against me. My career didn't go like most, and I'm 100 percent fine with that because that's what resonates with people.

People are going to forget that I won a Super Bowl, but they're never going to forget the kind of impact you had on them personally.

You have to learn how not to be defined by failure.

I was a receiver until I was a freshman in high school. I didn't play quarterback until I was a freshman.

There's a huge yearning in our culture for something more... it's being more in touch with God... and what we were created to be.

The farther we go down a negative path, which we see every day, the more we yearn for the positive.

I grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, so in Iowa, we didn't have a pro sports team, so it was all about the Hawks, and everybody was a Hawkeyes fan, and everybody had their black and gold and had something Hawkeye related.
