I have achieved everything that I ever wanted to accomplish in this game and more so, for me, I have been fulfilled. Emmitt Smith
I have been a Cowboys fan since I was a little bitty boy. And my dream has finally become a reality, of not only just playing a professional, becoming a professional athlete, but playing for the team that I always wanted to play for. Emmitt Smith
Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion, a winner, a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in. Emmitt Smith
I've learned that football sometimes was an outlet. It was a way for me to release anger, release frustration. Emmitt Smith
Dreaming means 'rehearsing' what you see, playing it over and over in your mind until it becomes as real to you as your life right now. Emmitt Smith
I'm an enigma, an unknown. You can't really figure out what I'm going to do next. I like it like that. Emmitt Smith
Charles Haley changed the way the Cowboys played football in the 90s. And the reason why I say that is because he was such a dominant force coming off the edge, where it took two and three to block him. Emmitt Smith
I don't have to get up in the morning and go beat up my body like I used to. I don't have to be out there in August in 108 degree weather down in Texas. Emmitt Smith
I used to imagine what it would be like to do what Jim Brown was doing. I used to imagine what it would be like to be like a Tony Dorsett. I used to imagine what it would be like to be like a Walter Payton. I was imagining Emmitt Smith doing exactly what they were doing. Emmitt Smith
I know how important it is to have your quarterback standing upright. Matter of fact, I know how important it is not to allow someone hit on him period because I want him to think that this pocket is completely safe, no one is going to get to me and I got all the time in the world to make whatever decisions I need to make. Emmitt Smith
As a former football player who has carried a football more than 4,000 times, trust me, I did not go into ballroom dancing with my body being 100 percent, with no aches or pains or ailments coming with me. When you're dancing, you're doing stuff that your body's not used to, and so you start to aggravate those old injuries. Emmitt Smith
I don't have to put on shoulder pads and run out there and let somebody hit on me a little bit. Emmitt Smith
