I've learned over the years that it doesn't matter where you pitch in the rotation. For me, preparation is everything.

On the days I'm pitching, it's almost a coin flip as to know if the guys behind me are going to be there to play 100%.

If I don't make the team out of spring training, I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.

Sometimes I felt I got caught up kind of going into the clubhouse non-chalantly sometimes, because all of the other guys in the clubhouse didn't go there with one goal in mind.

I made a lot of good friends in Philadelphia and the last thing that I would want to do is dog anyone in that clubhouse. If I made it sound like that, it was a mistake.

You've never seen Manhattan 'til you've flown right up the East River. It's beautiful.

The flying? I'm not worried about it. I'm safe up there. I feel very comfortable with my abilities flying an airplane.

Youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness.

I've played a ghost, cat, snake. I've been funny, sad. I've been filmed flying on screen. So why not spend time on something else? I don't need to accept everything I'm offered.

The old charters of Massachusetts, Virginia, and the Carolinas had given title to strips of territory extending from the Atlantic westward to the Pacific.

Over the past two decades, we have clearly seen an erosion of ethical values.

What we are going to end up with here is two nations. That will create real resentment in the workforce.

Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.

Monarchists frequently declare that without the royal family, Britain would be 'nothing.' What a woeful lack of love for one's country such statements express.

I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.
