Baseball is a game-I just go out there and enjoy it.

I grew up with video games. My generation kind of grew up with the Nintendo and the Sega Genesis. Then, I had a Dreamcast and, finally, the PlayStation. So yeah, I've always been a big gamer.

When times get rough, keep your head up.

I've always been big. I'm never going to be an underwear model. But I am who I am, and that has its advantages and disadvantages.

Before I came here, I had people telling me what a tough place New York is, how other players came here and struggled. But I never let that bother me. I came here because I want to win.

It's a great feeling to have the stadium rocking and chanting my name.

I need to stay calm and just pitch my game.

I was lucky enough to watch my son hit a grand slam at sports camp, and that was great. Yes, I may miss some things, but honestly, I think I get to see more than a dad who works a daily 9 to 5.

I guess I'm getting older. I hate to say it, but I guess I am.

I don't care much about my personal record. I just want to be able to pitch in the playoffs.

I definitely care. I'm very competitive, but I am satisfied with my delivery and that I only missed with a few pitches.

In my experience, self-hatred is the dominant malaise crippling Christians and stifling their growth in the Holy Spirit.

One day you men will learnto pay attention and all the world willtremble.

Creativity is seeing and feeling things in ways people can't imagine or understand.

To change yourself, let go of what you are and accept what you want to be.

All music is escapism for me, but I like the way that, on a good night, that sense of escapism can be shared.

Everything you say and do is having an impact on others.

It is one thing to be awakened to injustice and quite another to be willing to be inconvenienced and interrupted to do something about it.

Love could never come to full fruition till it was destroyed.

If our planes were shot down, yes, they's wake me right away. If the other fellows' were shot down, why wake me up?

To master the piano is to master the universe.
