A good changeup is what I need to get to the next level.

Taking the GED and moving on to my dream of playing baseball was what I wanted to do, and my mom and dad supported me.

You can either take it as a way to motivate yourself or be happy with what you've got.

Everybody's dream is to be in the big leagues, but only one in a million gets here.

I'm not a big city guy...there's too many people, there's too much traffic.

I prided myself on working as hard as I could, trying to overcome a learning diability.

I like to hunt. After baseball, I'll go back and buy some land and do some farming.

To my parents and all the people who reassured me that leaving high school and going into the draft was the right thing to do, I am forever thankful.

I don't ever want to be an average fourth starter. I want to be the big guy.

I can't try to throw 110 miles per hour. I've got to pitch under control.

Now I know that I don't have to go after every batter with the hardest pitch I've got.

Creativity is like a muscle

Consciousness is Gods' gift to mankind.

I was brought up to reuse things.

My songs are like my kids.

First, there is the law. It must be obeyed. But the law is the minimum. You must act ethically.

How slender is the accommodation which nature has provided for man.

The political is personal.

Just because it's all you want, doesn't mean it's all you need.

Oh, my God, I don't think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.

Can you tell a plain man the road to heaven? Certainly, turn at once to the right, and then go straight forward.
