When I decided to become a Christian and decided to change my life and just totally quit screwing up, it was like, 'Wow, why didn't I do this before?' No hiding anything. I just felt so much better, not only about myself, but my future, my family. It was awesome, and it didn't take me long to realize that.

Make a difference today for someone who's fighting for their tomorrow.

What I love about elk hunting is its similarities to turkey hunting. When you call to a bull elk, and it comes in ripping things apart and sounding like a herd of buffalo coming at you, it's exciting!

Those four Super Bowl losses? Yeah, it sucks that we didn't win, but what are you going to do about it? You can feel sorry for yourself, but that's not how I was brought up.

I've been through so much. I just live each day, and whatever happens, happens. I've lived a very good life. My life has definitely changed, but the attitude is still the same.

I played football ever since I was a little boy. Coming from a family of six boys, I guess we learned the game of football from a very young age.

If tomorrow the good Lord decides that's my last day, then I'm not going to go down with a frown. I'm going down with a smile on my face, knowing that I've gotten everything out of life.

There are things that you think about in your life that you're proud of, some things that you're not proud of.

Pain has been part of my life. I don't complain about much. When you grow up with six boys, you can't show your pain, and if you do, they'll give you another piece of pain.

You need to be able to sit down and talk to your children.

Never walk into a hospital crying. Have an attitude that you will make someone else's life better.

Turkey hunting is my passion because I love the thrill of calling them in.

Where my cancer was, if it moves just a tiny bit... towards the area where there's no return, it stays, then there's no turning back.

I threw up before every single football game I played, and I did so up through my NFL career. It was good pressure. It was pressure to be good. It was pressure to be the best. It was pressure to want to win.

Number one is my faith, number two my family, number three is my friends, and number four, my fans.

We grew up probably having as hard a life as anybody. A lot of times, we didn't have any food on the table. At Christmas, everybody else would always get something nice, but we'd get one T-shirt or one shirt... So I want to take care of Mom and Dad... and I'm having a damn good time doing it.

When I got out of college and signed a contract to play pro football in the USFL, the first thing I bought was a Remington 1100 shotgun and a Remington .30-06.

My idol was Terry Bradshaw, but my role model was my father because I saw how much he worked and how much he focused on his trade. I was brought up the right way.

I started out real young as a tight end, but I was never getting the football. I knew when I played basketball, I loved to have control of the ball. When I played baseball, I was a pitcher. I always wanted to be the guy throwing the passes and making a difference, I guess.

My daughter wrote a book called 'Kelly Tough' when she was 19 years old. It's a must-read.
