I came to love Fenway. It was a place that rejuvenated me after a road trip; the fans right on top of you, the nutty angles. And the Wall. That was my baby, the left-field wall, the Green Monster.

The three-thousand hitting thing was the first time I let individual pressure get to me. I was uptight about it. When I saw the hit going through, I had a sigh of relief more than anything.

I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it.

When they knock you down, you not only have to get up, but you have to make it clear that you won't be knocked down a second time.

Anything less would not have been worthy of me. Anything more would not have been possible.

A fresh day brings new sunrise and new hope for a fresh start.

She died without us by her side, and now, we are left with the scars. In time, they will fade, but their haunting memory will remain.

Abundance comes from giving not from receiving.

The battle outside raging will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls.

90% of people are in jobs they hate and are bitter about their lives and scratching about for money. That's my worst nightmare.

Never forget that the key of the situation lies in the will & not in the imagination.

Hey, I know it's Monday, but it's also a new day, a new week and in that lies a new opportunity for something special to happen.

Assassin?...that sounds so exotic...i was just a murderer

I'm someone who doesn't believe in making my problems other people's problems.
