I refuse to be molded into some stereotypical ballplayer that has no interests, really, no life, no depth, no intelligence.

Some people pray to a totem pole, some people pray to a sun, some people pray to a god. It all works for them. It all comes back to what you think.

I'm so secure in myself I couldn't care less what people think of me.

The outfield is solid, so is the catching and the infield.

Big league defense is going to get outs most times.

Meyer and I have a bit in common because we're both left-handed. I think it's great that he seeks out that advice because he's not too "cool" or too uncomfortable to ask for it.

I do look forward to keeping in touch with the guys because we'll always be connected in people's minds.

It's not like I'm some kind of veteran and there is this huge age gap. I identify with them more off the field. I need to set an example, which is great, and I look forward to doing just that.

When someone becomes successful or rich and famous, people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.

I was this 5-7 pudgy kid in high school... I wasn't a popular kid. I was an outcast.

I just write mechanical things.

None of us can choose where we shall love...

I'm not a fan of musicals at all, but I do think 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' is a very good. I always thought 'Walk the Line' was very good, too.

A simple life is good with me. I don't need a whole lot. For me, a T-shirt, a pair of shorts, barefoot on a beach and I'm happy.

I kept my babies fed. I could have dumped them, but I didn't. I decided that whatever trip I was on, they were going with me. You're looking at a real daddy.

As far as unwed mothers on welfare are concerned, it seems to me that they must be capable of some other form of labor.

I've always done indie films, but things started picking up more for, for a lack of a better word, more professional things.

The most important thing for any aspiring writer, is to read! And not just the sort of thing you're trying to write, be that fantasy, SF, comic books, whatever. You need to read everything.

The slave who dances is free ... while he is dancing.

I'm always amazed by people who blog all the time and tweet all the time, and still get things done. I don't know how they do it.

I like a man who grins when he fights.
