It’s a difficult job to do, but that is why we do it. Only so many people can do it. But it, it enables you to… for a brief period of time to kind of get away. You have to go back and deal with, but it’s a good escape. – Brett Favre
I consider myself more of a loner now and I think when you get older, especially in this game, and just talking with other players who have come and gone, I see what they were saying when I was a young guy in the locker room. – Brett Favre
But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life… Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was. – Brett Favre
There was a time when all I cared about was the next game, the next party, the next tee time. – Brett Favre
The party now is having my kids laugh and my wife laugh and my teammates. I want them to see me have fun and put it in a different way. – Brett Favre
Sometimes you get caught up in what’s going on around you. The reality is that you are just a regular person. At some point, the career will be over, the bright lights turn off. That can come back to haunt you if you’re not just a regular guy. – Brett Favre
I think my stubbornness, hardheadedness and stupidity is what has allowed me to play for 20 years. – Brett Favre
The town, the team, it’s a family. That has helped. For some people who have had to deal with some of the problems I have had to deal with don’t have football as an out. – Brett Favre
My wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she’s probably right, but it sure beats some of the things I used to do. – Brett Favre
There are those people who are in your corner no matter what, you can’t do any wrong, even when you do wrong. And then there are those people that no matter what you do they are going to dislike you and that’s not going to change. – Brett Favre
Obviously talent gets you to a certain point, but it’s what you do with it, how you handle. – Brett Favre
