It’s hard coming in here talking a big game. It’s hard, it’s hard. It’s a lamb coming to the wolves and throwing meat at them.
Everybody is a critic, everybody has a voice, everybody can reach you. Everybody is an expert and that’s what makes it fun.
Every TV timeout, I went up and said it right to Brady: ‘Please keep trying me. I’m going to take it from you.’
We’ve been in all the big games, we’ve been in small games, and we’ve treated them all the same and I think that mentality is what’s helped us get to the point where we are now.
Go on and do it then, boy.
I was making sure everyone knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver. And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver, that’s what happens. I appreciate that he knows that now.
I think people somehow get a skewed view of Tom Brady. That he’s just a clean-cut guy that does everything right and never says a bad word to anyone. We know him to be otherwise.
He did look like the Monopoly man, but it was smooth. I thought he was going to pull a monocle out. That would have been awesome. And did you see the pocket watch? That was incredible.
I’m intelligent enough and capable enough to understand that you are ignorant, pompous, egotistical cretin. I’m going to crush you on here because I’m tired of hearing about it.
A lot of people have been asking whether I would ever go into politics. I’m not sure I would.
Sometimes you have to be somebody you’re not.
Good, bad or indifferent, I’m transparent with my opinions and what I believe. I just don’t think in politics you can be that way.
If I don’t have the books to read, if I don’t have the information to study, how can I succeed? That’s a lot of the stuff I would focus on if I was elected because I think knowledge is power.
I don’t care about people kissing my ass or telling me how great I am. I don’t really give a damn. I read the bad stuff a whole lot more than I read the good stuff. I read that because there are always going to be critics who are going to say how good you aren’t.
The success doesn’t define you. The success isn’t what gave you the edge in the first place. The failure didn’t give me the edge, either.
Sometimes, months elapse before we’ve completed the song completely. There’s no set rule. Something inside of you says – ‘now you can present it!’ If one of us feels it’s not quite right, lyrically or melodically, we don’t present it.
Depending on the story, I don’t feel that the music is disappearing. I feel if the story demands songs, they’ll have songs. If it doesn’t demand songs, you’ll have underscore.
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
It’s a dream for all writers to write for Broadway.
Walt Disney was a story man, and he knew that we were thinking story. That’s why he dug us so much and he hired us to work for him. We always thought about the story. That was more important than any words and any music. That’s all it’s about.
It’s quite a thrill to see it coming to life on stage.
