I've always enjoyed interleague play. It gives you a chance to see different clubs, to go to different places. It gives you a good chance to see where you are, where you stand with other teams.

The strongest thing I put into my body is steak and eggs. I just eat. I'm not a supplement guy. Steroids are not even a thought.

My dad told me when I went into high school, 'It's not what you do when you walk in the door that matters. It's what you do when you walk out.' That's when you've made a lasting impression.

I really do try hard to be a good teammate. I can't run very fast, but I try to always run hard. I may strike out a lot, but I try to walk to set up the guys who are hitting after me.

Is my ability what it was at, say, 25 or 30 years old? Probably not, but I like to compete. I like to go out and play the game hard.

You can't play forever.

Charisma's good every night. Something special is always about to happen. You've got to believe it.

I don't really like filling my brain with a lot of stuff.

There's an inner feeling you get when you get in a situation to do well in a game. It's hard to explain.

I sign every autograph I can for kids because I remember myself at that age. I think it's ridiculous that some guys won't sign for a kid.

We all make mistakes and sometimes you say things and you really don't realize what you're saying at that moment.

I felt like Eartha Kitt. I'm serving fish, honey, and this ain't trout.

Russia is a name usurped by the Muscovites. They are not Slavs; they do not belong to the Indo-Germanic race at all, they are des intrus [intruders], who must be chased back across the Dnieper, etc.

Perhaps I can stay by the fire and mend your socks and scream if I hear any strange noises.

[For American consumer society], the country's reserves of ignorance constitute a natural resource as precious as the Mississippi River or the long-lost herds of buffalo.

Don't wreck a sublime chocolate experience by feeling guilty.

In comedy, you see yourself as a newcomer and then you realize you've been doing it for 18, 20 years, which is ridiculous.

You may use different sorts of sentences and illustrations before different sorts of audiences, but you don't -- if you are wise -- talk down to any audience.

We do not learn, and that what we call learning is only a process of recollection.

As novices, we think we're entirely responsible for the way people treat us. I have long since learned that we are responsible only for the way we treat people.

I'm merely teaching you to be someone of pride and to be a good leader and that's the message I want you to take away from my music.
