A good friend of mine once told me that each morning when you wake up, think about winning the day. Don't worry about a week from now or a month from now - just think about one day at a time. If you are worried about the mountain in the distance, you might trip over the molehill right in front of you. Win the day!
Drew Brees

And at the time, it is funny how you can look at something and say, for example with my shoulder injury, when it first happened I said this is the worst thing that could happen to me. Why me, why now? Now I look back and say it was probably the best thing that happened to me

I can't get through the gate. The gate is narrow.

It took me six months to redeem myself at least to have another chance to at least have her get to know me and let her know I was at least a decent guy and to give me a shot. And here we are, we've been married seven years

Sometimes all you need is just for somebody to believe in you in order to be able to accomplish maybe what you never thought you could.

Think about winning the day... if you are worried about the mountain in the distance, you might trip over the molehill right in front of you.

You can always be a little bit better.

There are a very few consistent, common threads among the most successful NFL quarterbacks. Most of them are intangibles, which you can't measure with a physical test. You need leadership ability, competitiveness, drive, and will. You need focus, poise, and charisma.
Drew Brees
11.
There's always a little bit of personal satisfaction when you prove somebody wrong.
Drew Brees

My No. 1 priority, and it always has been this, is keeping our team together and making sure we have the right guys in the right positions to make a run at this for a long time.
Drew Brees
13.
Each and every year I feel like I've gotten a little bit better and that's always been my goal, was just to get a little bit better
Drew Brees
14.
God, I know that if you bring me to it, you will bring me through it. I know you have a plan, but quite honestly I don’t see it right now. But I know it’s there. I know I have to believe. I know I need to have faith. I have to trust you. And I do trust you. But it’s hard right now.
Drew Brees

I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people's faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.
Drew Brees
16.
It has been an interesting road, but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world, because I feel like all of those instances in my life I felt molded me and strengthened me and made me who I am.
Drew Brees

We had a saying that the fun stops at one.
Drew Brees

The only team that believed in me was the Saints, and I feel like I owe them a great debt of gratitude. I want to give them what they saw in me-a guy who could lead this team to a championship.

I don't know about voodoo, but I believe in destiny.
Drew Brees

I was brought here [New Orleans] for a reason. I feel like I can make a tremendous impact, not only with the team but in the community.
Drew Brees
22.
We all understand what we signed up for, but then again, you don't want this to be a game that puts people in wheelchairs at age 40.
Drew Brees
23.
I get people stopping me on the street like twenty times a day, telling me how great it makes them feel and how it just helps them to go about their day and rebuild their lives. It means a tremendous amount.
Drew Brees
24.
I think the fact is that anybody who goes into politics feels like 'I can make a difference'. But it's not one person, you need so many others
Drew Brees
25.
Under pressure, would I fold and disappear, or would I show everyone that when bad things happen, you fight?
Drew Brees

Camping in the backyard last night for Father's Day! Wrestling, stories, s'mores...it was awesome!
Drew Brees
27.
I don't believe that you can be too short as a quarterback. It's not about height.
Drew Brees
28.
I'm a very modest person. But I'm also extremely confident. And if you put me in the situation or in the moment, I'm gonna have some swagger, I'm gonna have some cockiness
Drew Brees
29.
I expect to win out there.
Drew Brees

I'm a very modest person.
Drew Brees

I can change a diaper in 30 seconds flat. I set the new one beneath the old one. That way, it's just wipe and pull the flap over
Drew Brees

It might have been the hardest hit I took all day.
Drew Brees
33.
Four years ago, who ever thought this would have happened?
Drew Brees
34.
I love the Cowboys in the early 90s. That was their heyday, winning all those Super bowls. Troy Aikman was a person I looked up to.
Drew Brees
35.
I know Andy Roddick's probably tired about me talking about how many times I beat him when we were kids
Drew Brees
36.
Each day, you get an ounce more confidence. When we're playing like we are, there's no reason not to.
Drew Brees
37.
When you care about a guy beyond just the field, that's when the chemistry becomes really special.
Drew Brees
38.
I have a feeling that when you're on the cover, they supe up all your abilities in the game to a pretty high level. I'm excited to see what that equates to, like if I can throw the ball 100 yards in the air or something.
Drew Brees
39.
You are either getting better or getting worse, but you are never staying the same.
Drew Brees

I'm not just trying to be a good game manager. I'm trying to be great.
Drew Brees

When you wake up, think about winning the day. Don't worry about a week or a month from now -- just think about one day at a time.
Drew Brees

I expect to make big plays. And when I don't, I'm upset about it.
Drew Brees

The Super Bowl is a realistic goal.

The Madden NFL franchise holds a special place in popular culture and the cover is a coveted position for players all over the league. I'm honored to be the first cover athlete chosen by Madden NFL fans and it's a great way to cap off an amazing year for the Saints and the city of New Orleans.
Drew Brees
45.
The Madden Curse has really taken on a life of its own. People just love talking about it, and it is what it is, but I look at it as a challenge
Drew Brees
46.
I needed New Orleans so badly back in 2006, just somebody to believe in me, somebody to care about me
Drew Brees
47.
All of the products I take help me feel like I'm getting the maximum amount out of my workouts and out of my practice work. They're a big part of preparing and recovering each week.
Drew Brees

I grew up in Texas, obviously a huge football state
Drew Brees

We've got something special going here. We want to keep it going. You don't have many opportunities like this, and the window of opportunity for us is now.
Drew Brees

It's my job to get us in good plays, or more importantly, out of bad plays.
