I'm always doing my best. Maybe people expect more of me, but I'm always doing my best.

I don't know if it sounds arrogant or whatever, but I'm just trying to get better numbers than last year.

I pride myself on average, not home runs.

I believe my speed begins when I round first base.

I am right where I want to be-in the playoffs, and happy about it.

I really like triples. You hardly ever see me stop at second. My goal is third and that's where I'm headed.

Everyone here contributes to win the games, so there is no pressure on any one player.

[The Angels are] a team that gives you an opportunity always to be in the playoffs. This time, my first time with them, I was very close to getting to the World Series, so why not stay?

I don't have to be the hero or nothing. I just have to be part of the team.

There are two kinds of writing the one you write and the one that writes you. The one that writes you is dangerous. You go where you don't want to go. You look where you don't want to look.

A lot of pain that we are dealing with are really only THOUGHTS.

It is worth it to me to know I have succeeded based on my abilities and not on my looks or any 'connections.' I've tried not to embody destructive female images in my work.

Among animals, one has a sense of humor. Humor saves a few steps, it saves years.

It goes far towards reconciling me to being a woman, when I reflect that I am thus in no danger of ever marrying one.

I tell kids not to be on the Internet. It's dangerous. It's not fun. It wastes your life. You should just be outside playing sports, instead of sitting in front of any type of screen.

Leadership must first and foremost meet the needs of others.

I think a pretty good modus operandi is to believe that everything we know is wrong. The stomach will be the key to depression or consciousness or we'll realize ants are smarter than people.

The world wishes to be deceived.
