"We expanded primarily for our people - if you don't offer more opportunities, you don't keep good people."

"The best are the ones built without controversy, when the owner, the architect, and the builder work together."

"Ben Rome was a perfectionist. He checked every letter that went out to make sure the English was correct."

"When I did a high-profile project, I was not the developer of it."

"My children went to Bethesda Elementary School. I wouldn't do anything to endanger the safety of Bethesda."

"It's nice to work with your own alma mater."

"My job was to build, and that's still my job - and I like that better than interviews."

"I did not want to go out at 5:30 in the morning with my stocking cap and my navy pea coat on and shoot lines and grades for the rest of my life."

"I've always kept a low profile, and I like it that way."

"Surround yourself with really good people. I think that's an important thing. Because the people you surround yourself are a reflection of you."

"Five letters here just for everybody out there in Packer-land: R-E-L-A-X, Relax. We're going to be OK."

"It takes a career, a lifetime, to build up a reputation, and only one misstep for it all to crumble away."

"For me, it's always been about preparation, and the more prepared I can be each week, the less pressure I feel and the more confident I am. As your confidence grows, it's only natural that the pressure you feel diminishes."

"How you deal with adversity says a lot about the kind of players you've got and the kind of team we've got."

"The NCAA makes so much money off of their kids, and they put ridiculous - absolutely ridiculous - restrictions on everything that they can do."

"I want to be the best. I want to be counted on by my teammates. I want to be counted on by this organization and the fans. I want to be someone they know is going to bring it every single week. I prepare to be the best."

"That's what really motivates me: to make my coaches proud, my teammates proud, and the fans proud."

"I'm fulfilling my dreams that I had as a kid every single day. That's why I'm trying to enjoy it so much."

"The thing I love about Wisconsin is the people. We have such incredible people here. It's fun to recognize the incredible athletes and coaches and sponsors and people we have here tonight. But we also have incredible fans."

"To me, the flag represents the greatest ideals of the United States of America, not the worst, but different people look at different things and have different feelings about it. That's what freedom of expression is all about."

"I've gotten to learn what's important in life and what's not important, and what to spend energy on and what not to. I don't have a family like some of my teammates, but I have a lot of things pulling at me that I have to put my energy into."

"I've dealt with a lot of injuries over the years, and you just learn about pain management and how to keep yourself in the best shape to play on Sunday, and then playing with pain."

"I don't think God cares a whole lot about the outcome. He cares about the people involved, but I don't think he's a big football fan."

"I think Jesus was about bringing people together and connecting people in love, hanging out with the people who other people didn't want to hang out with. Spending time with the worst of the worst because He knew those are the people who needed Him most."

"When you're competitive, the last thing you want to do is come out of a game, regardless of what kind of injury it is - whether it's an ankle, a knee, a rib, or a head injury."

"I think it is all about finding ways to challenge yourself."

"I'm just going to say I'm not gay. I really, really like women. That's all I can really say about that."

"I look for my opportunities, not trying to go outside of my genuine realm, because leadership has to be genuine and authentic."

"I think there needs to be modified penalties in training camp because there's severely modified compensation in training camp for all of us."

"I went to University of Illinois team camp. And that was a big deal for me. I got MVP of the camp, but they offered another kid from the camp, which was fine. I laughed with the couple coaches I know who were there at the time, who were part of recruiting the other guy."
