People want me to do things, be a certain way and that's not going to happen. I'm going to be Albert Belle.

I mean, people think I'm too intense for baseball. I've always excelled to be the best, no matter what, but it's like people think something is wrong with that.

I know the Chicago media will write a lot of bad things, but they'll write a lot of good things too. I can live with that. In Cleveland, all I got was negative press.

While in the clinic, I discovered I had problems with concentration, motivation, attitude, and temper. I have found a new way of life through the clinic's program and a 12-step recovery plan.

Going to a new team is like going to a new high school. Nobody knows you. It's a chance to rebuild your image.

It's going to be tough (winning the MVP Award). I'm not really considered a media darling.

When you talk about locker room betting, we bet on everything... It's no different than anyone else's office pool. Money changes hands in the locker room; it's whatever you want.

People don't need to know what Albert Belle is thinking. I've learned from my mistakes in the past, and that's what's made me a better person.

Back in 1987 when they drafted me. The Indians were the only team interested in taking a chance on Albert Belle, and I made the most of it. Hopefully, they got as much from me as I got from them.

I look back over my career and I almost pissed it away. I got a second chance and I've made the most of my opportunity. I play every game like it's the last game of my career.

I have high expectations for myself. I'm not out there playing the game just to be playing it. I want to win a championship.

You can speak with spiritual eloquence, pray in public, and maintain a holy appearance... but it is your behavior that will reveal your true character.

My favorite foods are things that aren't great to eat, like pizza.

When shooting in the dark, it is a good idea to use a machine gun.

Others are keen to see if natives other than us live better than we do, without heat in pipes, ice in boxes, sunshine in bulbs, music on disks, or images gliding over a pale screen.

Christianity was simple: fight your desires in order to please God.

I've been thinking about forever

Being a father is the most important thing, if you ask me. It changed me as a person and gave me an all new life.

I will practice coming back to the present moment...not letting regrets and sorrow drag me back into the past or letting anxieties, fears, or cravings pull me out.

Fred Hoyle and I differ on lots of questions, but on this we agree: a common sense and satisfying interpretation of our world suggests the designing hand of a superintelligence.

The Madcap Heiress, isn't that what the papers usually call her? Millions of dollars and no sense.
