As I get older every year, I'm eating better. As a kid, who can turn down chips and candy? But I'm getting better.

I just keep thinking about putting up good numbers, playing hard and winning games.

You surprise yourself on some balls off the bat. You don't think you have a chance to catch it. And then your natural ability just takes over.

Technology is ruled by two types of people: those who manage what they do not understand, and those who understand what they do not manage.

The first couple of years in the minors were tough for me. My numbers were there, but being away from home so young was tough.

I always dreamed of making it in baseball, but life has moved pretty quickly for me.

I think people keep baseballs in their cars, just to be prepared in case they see me. It's cool to get recognized in public; it's an incredible feeling.

I was always told that if people don't want a picture with you, or they don't want an autograph from you, that doesn't mean you're not doing anything good.

As a kid, I had this ultimate goal to be a teacher. I wanted to be a history teacher like my dad.

No curfew. I live in the basement. I got everything I need. Home cooking ... it's awesome.

Growing up, I was such a picky eater. I'm finally starting to expand.

But there was little heart to our lust, only the confusion of not knowinghow long we'd have in our bodies.

My passion and energy get mistaken for anger.

When millions of Americans are tightening their belts, folks have the right to expect their elected officials to do the same.

Doubtless these are inconsequential perplexities. Still, inconsequential perplexities have now and again been known to become the fundamental mood of existence, one suspects.

Everything you need to know about life is in one breath.

Stories are one thing that will be constant in life. Whether told, written, reenacted they are a fundamental part of human nature.

I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage. A man walks across this empty space, whilst someone else is watching him, and this is all that is needed for an act of theatre to be engaged.

The use of the right word, the exact word, is the difference between a pencil with a sharp point and a thick crayon.

No more than a surgeon can operate while tweeting can you reach your potential with one ear in, one ear out. You actually have to reacquaint yourself with concentration. We all do.

Aren’t you ever satisfied? I swear if I were mortal, I’d be limping from our last go-round. If not dead. We really need to find you a hobby other than jumping on top of me. (Acheron)
