Be a gunner? Me? I don't think I can do it. But I'll go for whatever the assist record is.
The thing I tried to remember when I was younger was 'Do something that's at least as good, if not better, than the last thing you did.' So I started with Brian De Palma and Sean Penn. I had a pretty high bar to start with.
When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either.
It's hard to be perfect, but that's something we try to strive for.
If you're going to set an ambition, set it high.
I think the goal is to win everything. Whatever we can reach is nice to take.
Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.
If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it.
We want to be better than 7-9. Honestly, 7-9 is not going to cut it.
Small aim is a crime.
I always believe shooting for the stars, and at the very least, you can land on the moon.
It's easier to get to the top when you're shooting for the top.
I never start anything 'I want to be No. 1. I want to win Grand Slam.' For me, no. It's always step by step. The only thing I want to do, it's to push the limit.
Success is a consequence and must not be a goal.
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
I set my goals high.
My expectation levels are probably higher than what's achievable. But I have to keep pushing the standards.
If you reach for the highest of ideals, you shouldn't settle for less than the stars.
Demand excellence.
I wanted to set new goals, because if you say, 'Oh, I'm world champion,' you don't grow, and you don't keep your level.
There's nothing wrong with shooting for the stars.
I still say, 'Shoot for the moon; you might get there.'
Hitch your wagon to a star
My friends and I started that motto early in high school - that attitude, that mentality - from way back then: Want to go to Stanford? Why not? Want to play in the NBA? Why not?
I know perfection in this game is very hard to do and pretty much impossible, but it's what I strive for because I think it's what you should do as a quarterback and as a leader.
