I want to win when the whole world is watching, ... I want to win a World Series in an Angels uniform.

I don't have to get a pitch down the middle. If I like the pitch-even if it's 15 inches off the plate, and that's the pitch I wanted-I'm swinging.

If it were easy it would not be any fun.

The people who truly matter, would surely love you unconditionally for being true to yourself. So why worry about those who wouldn't accept you?

There is no off position on the genius switch.

The transformation has been unbelievable. When I started here, I worked in a place where the Sky Room was on the second floor.

Let me tell you how the story ends, where the good guys die and the bad guys win. It doesn't matter how many friend you make, but the graffite they write on your grave.

Donald Trump is a fool, but he is not free to be a dangerous fool in Britian.

I don't know if I don't believe in monogamy. I think I do believe in it depending on the person or situation or something.

It's fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it.
