I'm driven by my passion - my family, my philanthropy, and the New England Patriots winning. That's my life.

After the love of my family, there's nothing more important to me than winning football games.

If I've had any modicum of success, it's because I've had good relationships, and people trusted me.

Sometimes, life is unfair, and you have to suck it up and move on and not use it as an excuse.

I tell you, I would never sit in judgment of anyone as long as they're good folks. I would never judge their life, because it's important to know their feelings.

The key to life, in my opinion, is to hang with good people, to have good people around you all the time because you're always going to have some people who will try and lead you in a certain place, and when the pressure comes on, you want real tough, solid people sitting next to you.

I think we're living in a world where there are no boundaries anymore. There are no borders.

Leadership is about having the courage to go against the advice of the so-called experts and doing what your instinct tells you is right.

A lot of people have their big dreams and get knocked down and don't have things go their way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and then you get that breakthrough.

The game of football requires attention constantly. If you miss one play, you can miss a lot of action - unlike some other sports.

Dream a big dream, a bold dream. Don't play conservatively between the 40 yard lines. Don't just play it safe.

When you do well, everybody's after you, and sometimes the motives are legitimate, and sometimes it's envy and jealousy.
