Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

Play the game right. If you play the game intelligently and execute the fundamentals, you can win.

It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life generally.

Toughest thing for me as a young manager is that a lot of my players saw me play. They know how bad I was.

We never quit trying. I know that's kind of corny, but the fact is we never quit trying. The dugout was alive even when we were behind. And sometimes it works.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

It's a really neat and special coincidence, but it's nothing but a coincidence. This wasn't set up to give Matt that honor. It's just the way it worked out. It's a neat extra.

I am never driven. Every film Ive made has been an assignment.

One always treads with a joyful step when one has dropped the burden called the ego.

The entrance into Jerusalem has all the elements of the theatre of the absurd: the poor king; truth comes riding on a donkey; symbolic actions - even parading without a permit!

Thank you for accepting me as I am, with my virtues and defects.

I revise like crazy. I start revising before the pen hits the paper.

Usually, I play the bad guy, so it's been a pleasant break to play a good guy.

Vice leaves repentance in the soul, like an ulcer in the flesh, which is always scratching and lacerating itself; for reason effaces all other griefs and sorrows, but it begets that of repentance.

As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world.

The more we grow in Love, Virtue and Holiness, the more we see Love, Virtue and Holiness outside.

To me, being a woman in 2016 is allowing myself to contain multitudes. Looking at who's given the space to do so and why.
