Joe Flacco

I don't own an iPod.

Joe Montana was my favorite. I just thought he was the best at the time. He wasn't playing too, too much when I got into high school or anything, but he was just a winning guy and he played very consistent football.

I'm the same as I am on the field as I am off the field. It's not an act. I can't be another person on the field as opposed to being off the field. I am on who I am off.

I have the same routine every game day, when it comes to waking up and what I do at the hotel and stuff, but nothing crazy.

I love the no-huddle.

That's part of being a leader, being the guy that people look to and making everybody around you better.

I think audibles, the way people talk about it, it's overrated.

I want to go out and win football games, and I want the ball to be put in my hands.

I would like more people to think good things about me, but if they never do, they never do.

I play this game to be the best, and it doesn't matter what other people say, I think I'm pretty damn good.

I don't play this game to be average.

You can deal with a little pain. It's just about making sure you can throw the ball good enough to go out there and help your team.

I've always wanted to have a family of my own.

I try to throw a pretty catchable ball. I like to think I do.

I never actually thought about my delivery. I was always just throwing the ball.

Listen, everybody likes the football their way.

No matter how well or how bad you play, when you have a chance of winning and you come up a little bit too short, it obviously hits you a little bit. It stinks.

I'm never going to question myself or question the guys around me. We're just going to look at each other and we're going to look in the mirror and I'm going to tell myself and everybody that we have to get better, I have to get better.

It's tough to maintain 15-play drives consistently and score points.

There are guys out there that have got to make a living on hating on somebody.

Each one is different; each season is different.

It doesn't feel good in the NFL when you lose a football game until you get out there and win another one and another one.

You can't be afraid to say, 'Coach, I don't understand.'

Everyone knows quarterback is a position where it takes a while to really start playing well.

If you let yourself believe that you are unsure about what you're doing, then the game is fast. But if you go out there and you're confident and have an idea of what you're supposed to do, then the game slows down for you.

We don't always get our respect but you've got to deal with it and go out there every week and just win football games.

I want to play as long as I can.

With Tom Brady, quarterbacks are playing now until they're about 60 years old.

When I'm not playing football Sundays, I get pretty bored. When I don't have that, it's kind of tough to get by.

In the regular season you always say, 'Take it one game at a time.' But the playoffs, they kind of make you do that.

You can't play to not lose.

The bottom line is you have to win the big game, and that's the Super Bowl.

What motivates me is being the best quarterback in the world.

There's always that training camp feeling that comes back to you when you're getting ready to go.

Any time you can get a win against a good football team with not a lot of guys healthy, it's a big week for us.

I still carry it with me that I'm a I-AA guy and I had to go down to the minor leagues in college football and prove who I was.

Anytime you have a child, it's one of your best days.

I think as a play-caller, you have to just go out there, rely on your guys that you have that are out there, rely on the fact that they have ability. And as a quarterback, you have to go out there and just go through your reads.

In my mind, the speed of the game is mental.

What fun would it be if we were perfect in everything that we did? Football is not about that.

You get a lot of money and you realize it's pretty cool.

I'm going to try to get my kid involved in golf and maybe try to get my kid to try to qualify for the PGA Tour. That's my dream.

I don't have that much interest in golf, to be honest with you. I like playing. It's fun. But after a while it gets boring.

You want to go out there and you want to show up for your teammates every Sunday, and you do everything you can to make sure that happens.

It's a crazy game. It's a game we all choose to play.

I never had a job. My first job was quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens.

We tend to just think about how hard it is to never have thrown to a guy. That is true, every guy has their own way of doing things and you build a rapport with guys throughout the course of the year and throughout practice and all of that.

I've been playing football for a long time and I love to play this game.

The preseason games are always weird because you know you're not going to play a ton, but you have to get ready like it's a regular-season game. There can be pressure to go out there and do well.

I don't know what the fascination is with 'Jersey Shore,' the show. I grew up going to the Jersey Shore and I think it's an incredible place to vacation. The show, I think people like to see crazy TV, and that's what the fascination is.
