If you gave me a choice between being married and being a baseball player, that's a no-brainer. I would be married any day. I just love it.

When I started to play consistently and produce consistently, that's when I knew that I could compete and do well in the big leagues.

Agile, athletic, sleek-all these things describe my game!

I think any great performer or athlete has to have a little bit of a gut to be great.

I want to play every game of my career in an Astros uniform.

They were chanting my name, but I don't know why. My name is on the back of my uniform. So, it's nice to know they can read.

One-run games can go either way, and most of the time they do.

I was raised in church by Christian parents and I was baptized when I was 11 years old. But I didn't really have a good understanding of what the Gospel was really all about until college.

Theres a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasnt a lot of fun.

I'll be a Houston Astro no matter what ... I would certainly want to leave myself open to a return to the team if that made sense for the organization and for me as well.

Its unbelievable, I cant even describe it. To be a big part of bringing the World Series the first World Series ever to Houston is just tremendous.

His ruby red rimmed moist eyes were two glasses of cranberry. He wore a cashmere sweater the color of Earl Grey tea...

With kisses like that, I wish this was the Universe where you were my soulfinder.

Say this one time with me: "Would you like that in a pump or a loafer?"... Good. Now memorize it, because starting tomorrow, the only job that you're going to be able to get is selling SHOES!

Make space in your life, space for health and happiness

The modern tradition of equating death with an ensuing nothingness can be abandoned. For there is no reason to believe that human death severs the quality of the oneness in the universe.

The studio scene in California is sort of ridiculous anyway.

One of the beauties of working in radio is the way a whole setting can be richly evoked simply by the addition to the track of a little birdsong and a church bell in the distance.

I love everybody and they, in turn, love everybody, and that's spreading love heart to heart to heart. That's my approach of my work.

It came to me that hell would not be fire and smoke after all but arctic, everything white and frigid. Hell would be not anger but indifference.

In all honesty, I never actually did anything wrong (in my eyes, at least) at school or misbehaved in any big way. If it was anything, it was probably just a lot of clowning around.
