I'm just trying to work hard every day, trying to be a better player and one day, to be right there with them, one of those special hitters.

You can never fall in love with a team.

My timing’s a little off. But I’m about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August.

Life is a challenge that you need. There's things in life that are going to throw you into the ground, but if you learn how to get up, that means you are not a quitter.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

I'm not thinking home run, I just want to put a good swing on the ball. When you go looking for home runs, you get off of your swing. So you don't think of homers when you go up to the plate.

They pick me [to be tested for steroids] every time. I don't know why. I don't know if it's because I'm a big guy, or what, but all I know is all they are going to find is a lot of rice and beans.

It doesn't matter if we are down 3-0. We just have got to keep the faith like that one piece you were saying in "Keep on Going," because the game is not over till the last out.

This is our f---g city. And nobody is going to dictate our freedom.

I'm a winner, I play to win, I want to make good things go on around me.

I just want to play baseball.

Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.

One good deed is more worth than a thousand brilliant theories. Let us not wait for large opportunities, or for a different kind of work, but do just the things we "find to do" day by day.

Marriage, at this point in my life? I'm not interested in it. Yet. Maybe later when I'm 35 or 40.

I'm one of those people who tells my wife, "No coaching from the sidelines."

I always think it's a good policy to like the people who like you.

I'm a more mature actress now.

The only thing that's difficult is reloading when things are happening. Can you get it done fast enough?

When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.

I really love routine and so I've never found it a problem. I really enjoy it. I don't mind somebody organising what I have to do. I'm a creature of habit in some ways.

Economists can never be free of from difficulties unless they will distinguish between a theory and the application of a theory.
