I decided to write a book primarily because people talked me into it.

I really don't care that I'm ranked.

I'm quiet.

- Terry Bradshaw

The only thing I care about is my family.

- Terry Bradshaw

When I played for the Steelers and I got my bell rung, I'd take smelling salts and go right back out there.

- Terry Bradshaw

You can't have 'yes' people around you.

I got a family I got to answer to. I got kids... my older parents and my preachers and everybody.

If you play in the NFL and start for 10 years, it's not good. It is not good.

I didn't respond well to a firm hand and insults.
