Agile, athletic, sleek-all these things describe my game!

When I started to play consistently and produce consistently, that's when I knew that I could compete and do well in the big leagues.

If you gave me a choice between being married and being a baseball player, that's a no-brainer. I would be married any day. I just love it.

I think any great performer or athlete has to have a little bit of a gut to be great.

Most people on the face of the earth do not know what to do with their time.

Creativity can solve almost any problem.

Now any dogma, based primarily on faith and emotionalism, is a dangerous weapon to use on others, since it is almost impossible to guarantee that the weapon will never be turned on the user.

But one must know where one stands, and where the others wish to go.

I always wanted to be a movie actress. I thought it was very romantic. And it was.

I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks; and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end. (Jo March)
